Mike If it's a pic of the C4 you want, here she was last year. As you can see she's a mk1. Her history is detailed in the MLU Naval section c/o & thanks to Richard Farrant's good work. I've done a bit since the photo was taken and repaired her buck (wet rot in a couple of places), repainted her and had her Naval numbers sign-written. I've done a fair amount of mechanical catch up work on her. When I've finished I'll send you a pic if you want?

But it's the C8 HUP that's of interest, so far thanks to everyone who's replied it seems I need to look out for cracking body mounts & tin worm. I'm concerned if the early engines are a worry and noone's mentioned any transfer box or front axle seals problems etc.. Are they bomb proof?
