The photo of the 6 x 4 is a very interesting one...it is one of 2,650 Chevrolet YR Houlder-Thornton 6 x 4s which were as has been said, to French order but diverted. This one would have been assembled possibly by GM LImited in Bamber Bridge, Preston or LEP Transport Limited in Chiswick, London. The contract demand awarded was S/M 2011. These were sourced, from post-war rego evidence, from Flint Plant, Michigan, and were knocked-down.
