Hanno,

Yes, but I have never seen a four wheel drive version before. I wonder if it was converted by All Wheel Drive Ltd, as they did some Thames Traders as well.

Just bought this photo of a CMP? truck used in Germany I think used by a REME unit, post war, late 1940s. any info on the photos would be welcome, and Heavy Humber [Box] photos as well.

Perhaps a bit dubious this one from the AWM but the crates are marked LV7 FD. Could they be Ford engines ? Surely no reliability questions there ?
