Australian Foxes?
 
My very early GM Mark 1 Armoured Car (Fox) Parts List indicates that in addition to the Canadian contracts (CDLV 125, CDLV 227) there was an Australian contract (D 463/202 H) and a British contract (Suply/Mech 1077). Later Fox Parts Lists don't mention the contract numbers. Were Canadian-produced Foxes ever supplied to the Britain and Australia Foxes? ....... Brian

Australia got 260-odd chassis, no complete vehicles. One was used to make their Rhino armoured car and the rest were turned into cranes. The British contracts were for complete vehicles and I think they ended up in India, maybe some in the Middle East too?

Thanks for that background. I wasn't able get any info from Vanderveen's Observers Guide which is usually pretty comprehensive.
