wow how intriquing. i wonder how many times the truck has been buried and unburied over the years by the sand?
i seem to recall a ww2 truckwas located and recovered by the egyptian or Libyan (?) military a few years ago (10?) and was put on display. I think it was a cmp but cannot remember. -I believe the story was that they theorized it was a supply truck that got lost in the desert.. lots of empty food cartons lying around it.. possibly two men aboard- lost/died in the desert? the sands blew over it and covered it for decades till the sands blew off it. Allegedly in perfect condition I also seem to recall they claimed they put a new battery and fuel in and were able to drive it out (although frankly I kinda doubt that) I also remember seeing photos of it on display but cannot locate them now. http://www.flickr.com/photos/45052443@N00/5227780594/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/45052443@N00/5227185397/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/45052443@N00/5187665689/

Yes Mark the Cmp was a ford and is the one on display at Al Elimain museum on a plinth
I think it was repainted,and that it was the French who found it. Some where i have the news paper clipping on it. I wonder what else lies buried in the sand?.
