C8AX production

[Tony Smith]

While there is no firm answer on the number of C8AX vehicles procured, numbers of 900, 1000 or 1200 have been suggested.

Whichever of these numbers proves to be correct, it is quite remarkable that the confirmed list of surviving vehicles currently stands at 47 vehicles. It is conceivable that there will be a number of "undiscovered" vehicles out there, hidden away on farms, workshops and wrecking yards, potentially expanding the list by 100%.

This means that after 77 years, around 10% of these vehicles still survive, many in restored and operating condition. Is there any comparable class of military vehicle that has stood the test of time so well?
