Thanks all

Hi Andrew

The Duple body is a British PU body , others in that style were fitted to Morris Humber and Ford. The plans I sent should suffice . But details will be different e.g., tool lockers and such. The Duple bodied C8's were fitted with weird petrol tanks , the filler necks stuck out the ends , unlike any other of the CMP family . What a shame the example in your town now lives in QLD Although I suspect it wasn't 100% original and had been fiddled with.
