Brian,

Interesting to see this HUP made it to a newspaper article in Canada!

With so many modifications - drive line, engine - it cannot be more than a "representation" of the HUP that was used as a bus.

Will ask one of my uncles if they remember seeing it, as it must have passed the bridge in front of their house in Rijswijk!
