What kind of data does it contain? I've not seen this book before as far as I can recall. If you are thinking of selling it I would be interested in knowing more about it as it might be useful for the CMP restorations I have on the go right now.

Grant,

I has data on each and every flavour of every CMP made both Ford and Chev.

It also has details on every engine variety.

There is at least one page for each vehicle if not two and there are side view drawings and end views and details galore. It is full of details.

I will try and show you a typical page tonight when I get back home tonight, just heading out the door right now.

Your interest is noted.

The book sounds like it could be a good reference. I'd probably like to get in touch with you anyway Robin as I also have a military KLR250 and I would be interested in chatting about whatever info you might have acquired regarding their use in Canada and appropriate markings. Cheers... the other Grant

Robin,

Not seen it before, am very much interested. Would offer you a good home for it, and will make copies available for MLU members.

Cheers,

Default Bill Gregg

I think this is the book Bill Gregg reproduced in volume 1 of Canadian Military Vehicle series.
