Who recognises (parts of) this vehicle?

It looks like a Morris Commercial C8 and with the jib on the back, would guess it is a FAT chassis with winch. The wheels are wrong for a C8 as they are the 3-piece type with spring ring retainer. Richard |

No, looking at the other pics (Onbekond 6, 7, 8+9), that front hub is certainly CMP and the 11/12 Cab Arch Bar/ front cowl I'd recognise anywhere. With the auxillary springs on the rear, my guess is this is the remains of either a 11 or 12 Cab C-GT or 12 cab Portee.
Another Portee in a similar state, but heading in the opposite direction (Resurrection, not Crucifixion): |

If I had looked at the other pics, I would have seen more details and noticed it was a CMP :o After looking at the others, I can see a rear winch so it looks to be a C-GT. Will now go and hang my head in shame. Richard |

Tony's right
Sure is (or was) a cab 12 although the chassis looks different, not just the add-on for the front winch.
Something else which caught my eye on another part of the site was this pic labeled as a F60H http://www.armymotorcars.com/assets/..._F60H__011.jpg Is it, d'you think? 16" wheels, though but it does look like another wheel in the background... |
