Heads Up: CMPs for sale in Austria

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
