Hi Hanno, Phil and Alex - a bit more,
In the November 15, 2002 Wheels section of the Ottawa Citizen newspaper, there was an article titled "Canada's other unsung wartime achievement" by Roy Thomas, an Ottawa writer.
The article briefly gave the story of CMP production and featured (including a picture) this particular C8A HUP, serial #3844515759, build date Oct 4, 1943 that is on display at The Hague Public Transport Museum (HOVM).
"After the war, this truck was first used by the Belgian city of Brussels. In 1980, serial 3844515759 was acquired by the HOVM and was then restored to represent the CMP vehicle that plied the Ypenburg - Rusijk bus route."
The article goes on to say, "The Canadian Military Pattern vehicle is a "runner" or will be if a vital part for one of the axles can be found."
Cheers,
Brian
