Morris-Commercial PU 8-cwt in greyish blue colour?

yes .. what a brilliant job ....... I've added more pics .

The story goes.. It was rebuilt after the war , a chassis up rebuild, and repainted that blue . Maybe a French Navy rebuild or something ... it might have been a ex BEF car . Those cars were obsolete by 1945 .. cannot imagine the RAF using them after the war , but that's only guessing .

Your friends Jeep looks very nice I must say ... Back in the mid 70's , I bought a ex RAAF Jeep , a stripped out wreck off a farm. It still had it's 1950's RAAF blue paint finish it ..very faded . Some early WW2 era RAF vehiclkes were blue I believe , , left over from the pre war days ... does somebody else know more .
