Default 1938 MCC PU

Hanno ,

This blue PU is news to me , it's the first I have heard about it and seen it .

Rory is looking a little sunburnt ! Too much time out in the open .

Do you think it was painted blue during its 1945 re build . I cannot imagine it being a factory paint colour . Being a pre war built example , it is very rare . It would have hub caps fitted .

It is quite possibly a ex French navy PU . Rory did buy some new 900-13 ex french navy stock tyres .

I have the remains of another PU , it's about 400 miles north of me , it is only good for parts .

And , I agree with your comments re : Classic MV mag . I emailed the person who wrote that atrocious bad article on the MCC PU in the mag . I listed all of the terrible errors he made , I got no reply of course .

Thanks for the pics , that RN C4 , I have seen once before . Did you notice the U.S. pattern tyres on it .

Maybe Denmark got some too .

Mike
