James, try Wheels and Tracks No.7 page 11. I knew that it was in one of the early issues and it was the first one I looked at.

A quote from page 13:-

‘The Ford Lynx is one of a group of ten located on a Greek Army base through information furnished by Dutchman Sjoerd Haagsma in 1981. Eventually, three of them were obtained through diplomatic channels as gifts to Canada from the Greek Government. The remaining vehicles were destroyed. Of the three survivors, two are in Dr Gregg’s Collection, the third is at the Canadian War Museum. All three were in ‘peeling and dented’ condition but virtually original and good mechanically. The two still showed remnants of 1st Canadian Division marking and were presumably obtained by the Greeks when they became surplus to Canadian requirements in Italy in 1945.'

Regards
Rick
