Quote from Ian,

SO Keith,

We are waiting on some photos of the MB.

All in good time, but just to keep you interested, here are four pictures taken last weekend. You'll just have to wait for other pictures, as and when I start a new thread.
So far, with the help of several books and another MLU member (Mr Ashby) we have come up with the following:
Chassis No MB 125287, D of D + or - 1 day = 5th March 1942
Body No 20613, AMC1 body, Mid Feb 1942 (my attempt to photograph this number on the front body stantion, was a complete disaster!, but I will perservere).
So, she just misses out on being a slat grill. I 've also since discovered that someone has removed the glovebox from her at some stage , so that will have to be rectified, along with the fuel tank guard, which should have rounded corners. The steering box feels good, and I think I'm right in saying that the Ross steering box was also used on the MA, which makes sense on an early MB.
Over to you Ian
Keith
