1949-50
 

Hanno, KAH xxx is spring 1949 onwards..it could have been registered in early 1950. Regrettably I do not have the rego and thus the serial # to hand. It was possibly refurbished and re-sold by General Motors Limited, Southampton although there were considerable numbers that were sold direct at auction or through dealers without any work done to them.

Hi Hanno
I was going to make a suggestion re ex military vehicles i had included the big boys in the heavyweight thread but still had nowhere to place other items. OK if we use this thread to place these items
To keep it rolling heres a CMP in Suffolk with a civvy body including greedy boards to carry more harvest

Hanno
ipresume we are going along with ex military in your thread so heres another
CMP 6x6 with over size mounted crane i think this is one of the Singapore cranes, must have been fun driving that around the city

Every one seems to be a bit slow on this thread so heres anotherto stir it up

ex military 3 ton chev as converted by Woolfendens of Liverpool to a mobile tower crane, the only stabilzers seem to be the original recovery ones

Aha!
 

The truck might have been supplied and refurbished by Pearsons of Liverpool and then sold on for conversion.

In use
