Mike,

The local in Rory's village, Matthew, knows of a C4 Mk1 compressor truck, compressor removed now. I met Matthew (the "local with a C4") at Beltring and we matched some sidescreens to this C4, which is in North Kent. I can vouch on the originality of this cab, because I helped a friend save it from a yard in 1978, where it had laid for many years. The rear of the cab had Dark Earth colour on it from when it was built. The engine was the original number. Truck had been part of the Royal Navy mobile repair team that supported the Coastal Forces during WW2 in UK.

I would assume a Mk1 cab is the same as a Mk2 in dimensions.

Richard
