For some reason these seem to be one of the most common surviving CMP model's in the UK. Bus Companies seem to have liked them but practically none of the QL version have survived. I once saw a Bedford RL Bofors Gun Tractor but quite if the body was original to the truck I do not know.

Surely LAAT's are indeed not rare, relatively speaking of course. I quite like them. In Holland the 3-tonner GS's seem to dominate.

Here's another survivor of the breed up for grabs in the UK: F60s LAAT 1944 For Restoration

"Yes honey, I need to buy this truck."

"But why dear, you already bought a truck after your retirement to tinker with and keep you out of the pub?!?"

"Yes I did honey, but this one is for after my retirement."

Lauren,

Thanks for the heads up. I merged your thread with this one - that LAAT was spotted already.
