CGT
By far the best CMP ever made! Very nice indeed, I even like the colour. Is this the one onced owned by Peter or is it the one Keith has been hiding?

I'd have to agree with you there, Wayne - this would have to be one of the nicest CMP versions - nice and roomy, and equiped with all the good bits - winch, tyre pump, 2 speed tranny case, vacuum boosted brakes.

...and jungle doors
Just noticed the jungle doors, canvas or metal? This would perhaps make it a latter version. Is there any year on this truck or data plates?
Wood steering wheel, round gauges? What about the gantry and fittings. So many questions... |

It is indeed one of the last ones and although it came from Col Anderson may in fact have been one of the Huhghes trading bodies The front doors have been sheeted in light steel and yes, it has a wood steering wheel and round instruments as an insert to the commercial dash, although these bodies were missing the instrument panels. As a late production version it lacked the AALMG mount.

Euan , pics of your vehicle
Well Euan
Here are two pics of your No. 9 body , taken in the first week of Jan 1978 at Colin Andersons place . Of interest is the canvas doors fitted . The devices on the roof are bren carrier front guards . I am not 100% certain, but I think either Col or Tim Vibert subsequently put this body on a C15A chassis for a while . I recall a club trip to Pucka museum in the early 80's where Col had a No. 9 CGT on the trip . Mike |

No 9 body
Thanks Mike,
You are correct that would be the body fitted. although the truck Tim did was from a second boby I think. My No 9 was not restored until 1990, I am thinking of recovering the doors in canvas, fitting the GT larger fuel tanks & relocating the battery back to the origanal box between the seats. Euan. |

Can you fit a big enough battery into that small battery box?

CGT battery
Hi Keith,
The battery I would like to fit to the GT would be like the battery we use in the race cars. It's a aircraft quality dry cell 12 volt battery http://www.odysseybatteries.com/auto |
