I am certain this is the one, here seen at Duxford in 1981 with the guy who bought it for restoration.

C8
Great to have another C8 on this forum. And a rising of Phoenix from the ashes , 1981.
Does it have a repro body ? I have the drawings taken off the Nick Bullock C8. If you need anything, let me know. I agree with Phil have the brake cylinders sleeved in stainless steel. A long lasting solution . Does it have the original carby ? The Carter is a over complicated example of engineering ! I had ongoing problems with leaky water pumps until I rebuilt one , fitting a modern ceramic seal . No leaks anymore !

I'd say the box is a repro. It doesn't look quite right. I have an original for comparison.

The body looks like it has been either significantly restored, or a repro. The sides are very straight, indicating they have been replaced. The front stowage bins have had some significant repairs/panels replaced. If the truck is the one from the 1981 photo, it clearly has had the body replaced. It has the Carter carb - I will refurb it, also have a Rochester carb to try. The ceramic seal on water pump sounds like a good idea, where did you get it from? Cheers Richard

I spoke to Kerry at R&Rs, he said that it came out of an auction last year at RAF Hendon museum. I don't have any more details at moment. I'm just around the corner from R&Rs so will pop in and see Kerry and hopefully he may have more details.
