Otter LRC CM4647296 comes home

[Jordan Baker]

I had a couple of visitors this afternoon to see the Otter. Was great to catch up with both Robin Craig and a Peter Duggan. Thanks to both Robin and Peter for taking the pictures.

Investigating the various layers of paint. The base layer is what I believe to be khaki green #3. Here it looks more like SCC2 brown but it’s just slightly washed out by the lighting. The next layer is either a dark brown but more looks like olive drab. Then there is a dark green. Lastly is the faded to light green top coat. The second picture also shows what appears to be a red square marking. It appears to be painted directly on top of the original layer. More paint removable is needed.

Great stuff Jordan and good to see the faces of Peter and Robin, that I have conversed with, but not seen so clearly.
I look forward to your restoration thread, with all the others.

Some of the work I’ll have for the next few years. It may look rough but everything will clean up very well or provide patterns for new parts. Considering there is a severe lack of reference material for these vehicles, it’s a godsend having all this present.

Some more off the interior.

Lastly the nice early dash. I have always wanted a vehicle with the early civilian style gauge clusters. Such a great combination with the combination of civilian dash and armoured body. Interestingly this dash has never had any of the modifications done to it as outlined in the GM Service Bulletins.
