Default CS8 Water Bowser
Some factory photos of the CS8 200 gallon bowser. The second photo looks like it's mounted backwards (no tank rear locker?) into the back of a GS body?

Owen.

I would suspect that the above are prototypes and may be significantly different from production ones.

I’d say that the last photo is of the production version as it looks to be the same as the early oval water tank fitted to aeroscreen Bedford MWs

The middle pic looks to be a ad hoc setup. But who knows ?

What is interesting is the very dark colour the vehicles appear to be painted.

I did buy the original CS8 water tank , cost me a small fortune but it will make a unusual truck when its all together.

They look gloss to me, so probably pre-war.

Was that the one for sale through Gumtree Australia? If so, is it possible to post a picture of the rear locker with both doors open? The locker internals are missing on mine.

Agree it makes an unusual truck. My C15 should look like the attached photos, eventually.

Owen.

Last photo in post #5 look to be printed back to front. Compare with the seccond photo in post #9 which I think is correct.

David,
I can see why you think that but the photo also shows the single rear and brake lamps on the right which would be correct for the Morris.

And the number on the door is right way around, not mirrored. And RHD!
