for sale
These barn finds keep turning up now and then in the UK .
I think around 200 CS8's arrived here in Aust. as refugee cargo . These appear to be from contract V4154 , with the full cab and windscreen. Or were these CS8's retrofitted with full cabs somewhere ? Who knows ? Lanes Motors the Morris agents, got first dip at purchasing these and each little Morris dealership in Victoria got a few to sell . I recall Colin Anderson telling me , just after the war, the Morris agents in Shepparton had CS8's for sale . Colin's neighbour had a CS8 for sale at one time in the early 50's , but Colin said it looked too antique looking , he didn't buy it. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/-RARE-194...&ul_noapp=true

Engine
That's a civilian 37 to 39 truck engine , used in the CV range. Still quite ok for a CS8 , but the head & waterpump position are different . The coolant jacket is open on the civvy engines and enclosed on the military engines.The big ends are poured like a chev 216, expensive to rebuild.
BTW the engine nr. is on the brass disc ,( 50 cent coin size ) seen next to the distributor , just under the drain tap . The number will have a ' O ' prefix. The military engines were usually a ' OH ' prefix
