CMP's in Plain Clothes

[lynx42]

I have just received two great books put out by Theo Barten & Maarten Swarts called 'Frituur Zorro' (volume 1 & 2).

These are both about 175 pages thick and have hundreds of Second Life WW2 vehicles with most photos taken before the 1980's.

I recomend them to everyone with an interest in military vehicles.

(Some of the translations are a little strange but all in all good books.)

Triggered by a C8A-based fire truck coming up for sale again, here are more photos of CMPs converted to fire trucks after WW2.

The coach builder De Jong based in the town of Sleeuwijk converted a number of C8A into this sleek looking fire truck:

Wasn't there a similar, but unrestored, vehicle in Bert's auction in Berghem?

Sorry about that, Theo. I took the web details off your card, not off the web.

Still lovely books and looking forward to book 3.
