...on the military ones. I have an Oxford Landrover which is excellent, but I am not so convinced about all their military models.

Hi Chalky,
LAAT bodies on all of them, I'll have to keep my eye out for one. I bought an MW a few weeks ago made by them, rather nice.

Our local bus company United Automobile Services had a CMP LAAT painted red as a breakdown truck for years, into the 70s at least.
It always stood just inside their garage entrance at Loftus but I never saw it move . I think it may have been preserved.
This was the only CMP i saw in my youth
