Front mounted spring bumper dates this vehicle to late '45. I recall Peter Ford mentioned SU prefix during discussion of Lauren's vehicle: "The CK- prefix, I assume, means "complete knockdown" just as SU- stands for (postwar) supplementary production however I have not seen any official explanation to confirm these meanings."

A quick check of chassis numbers found in Australia would also suggest postwar build date:

149767 26 Oct 44
149827 18 Nov 44
207538 15 Aug 45

I note also that SU-232454 is quite close to Lauren's CK-236140 chassis number with build date of 12 Nov 45.!
Thanks Tony!

As it is most likely assembled post-war, it think it could even be one of a batch of F60L's which were assembled by NV Nederlandsche Ford Automobiel Fabriek in Amsterdam early after WW2. Reportedly these were late production crated vehicles.
