Thank you very much, Ian. I had no idea that such vehicles saw military use, but it's good to learn more.

Cheers,
Matt

Hi Matt,

Yes, there were two versions of the '41 Station Wagon manufactured in Canada for military use. The C11AS was a 'militarised' version of the standard civilian 7seater model, having the transverse springs and torque tube drive to rear axle with standard 6.00x16 inch road wheels. its Vehicle code being - SW424-C-7WAG-1. The 'Heavy' version, C11ADF, was a 5 seater built on the pick-up chassis with semi elliptical springs, prop shaft and heavier back axle/gearbox and fitted with 9.00x13 wheels. its Vehicle code being -SW424-C-5WAG -I know one of these survives, in Queensland I believe.
I should haver a folding map table behind the front bench seat although mine is missing, so something to be found or at least obtain drawings of.

Excellent buy Ian!

Would be great if you could share more of the vehicle's history and pictures here on MLU.
