Early CMP Van? - Car, Heavy Utility, 4x2 (Ford C011DF-F8)

[T. Metsovitis]

I would like to build a model of this vehicle, namely the Car, Heavy Utility, 4x2 Ford C011DF-F8. I have never found a drawing of it in any scale and all I have to go on are some photographs and its dimensions.







It was based on the 8cwt chassis and the body was built in Britain. My question is this: were the mudguards the same size as the 15cwt?

Front mudguards are exactly the same size and shape as the standart truck ones. The rear guards would have the same radious as original but may have been narrower to suit the body.

Cheers

I have merged all the threads related to the C011DF-F8, and cleaned it up a bit.

See Early CMPs in NW Europe for a couple more pictures.

If you make a model make sure to add the B-17G plexiglass nose dome!

HTH,
