[Hanno Spoelstra]

Here's a sneak preview of a CMP for sale in Austria. More pics and details to follow later.

Chris, something for you?

Regards,
Hanno

Hi Hanno

Thanx for that link. It looks like an 4x4, isn't it? I'm only looking for a 4x2.

Austria would be close, however I unfortunately don't have the skills to restore a truck. Therefore, my CRO (Chief Restoration Officer) in Melbourne and the helpful staff in Yass ;-) will help me out.

Hi Chris, yes, it's a 4x4. So close to you, it sounded to good to be true!

Here's another hint. One with a wooden mallet, as we say in Dutch

Hanno: S/M 6407 is the same order my PERS-3 was built on, build date Aug 27/45. This one is 245 vehicles earlier, but does not appear to be a 'staff car' PERS-3 - wrong door and no filler piece in the door frame - or is it? Another cut-and-shut cab mod, I am supposing.

Seems like production must have really slowed down by that time - that works out to 35 HUPs a month, or just over 1 a day - did Oshawa run a continuous HUP line or just drop them in to other production on the line?

Looking at the Data Plate Hanno posted as compared to my HUP shows some interesting things:

same order number SM 6407 date of manufacture June 7/45 chassis serial number 4844520557 (498 difference) and engine serial number FR 4039351.

This makes me wonder about serial numbers seems that the numbers should be further apart.

Cheers Phil

Hi Mark,

Yes, I was missing those 1C11 body features as well. I'm sure Mr Hupmeister will comment as soon as he's back from his trip to Europe.

Interestingly, this C8A was converted into a tipper using a 15-cwt GS body which clearly has a history in the North African theatre.

Found this ad on the Dutch website http://www.gaf.zeelandnet.nl/

Interestingly, the stencelling on the side proves this is an ex-UNRRA vehicle.
