Earliest known British C30S

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Rego GRX 209 had Canadian Census Number CZ4211924 and was registered 9 November 1951. The Engine # was # [TR] or [TRA] 2795061. This is a very early truck, and a Canadian order to boot, but demobbed in 1951 in England! This might set a record...anyone recognise the Census Number? Is it from a C8, C15 or C15A?

On reflection this may be a C15, but its importance is that it was one of the first Chevrolets assembled and as it ended up in England it was probably one of the first Southampton-assembled CMPs. We know that CZ 4204396 was an early F15... number CZ 4241710 was a 1941 MODEL C15 assembled in England in 1941 sometime.


I have found a photo that I thought I had lost of C15 Water Tank, with British tank body...CZ 4211882. I suggest that CZ 4211924 might have been from the same batch.
