Known British Ford S/M Contracts

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

Whilst I know of Canadian orders which would have had 'CDLV' Contract prefixes being 'sold' to thew British, no Canadian vehicles in the UK would have been supplied by the M of S excepting those British-built that were sold to the Canadian Government through London for cash (for food).

There is one known exception to this comment! There had to be of course!!!
EC196TFS Ford V-8 3.9 4-spd 3-ton 14’8” 2-speed rear axle and 7.50 x 20 tyres for Canadian Forestry Corps. These were based on the C196T Canadian Ford chassis, but a CKD kit, but were assembled in Dagenham under British contract fromthe Ministry of Supply, V.4629...two elements to this therefore: a) S/M 2048 for a 1941 Model Canadian Ford chassis kit,
b) M of S contract with Ford Motor Co. for assembly of those kits, which was in fact Contract 294/V/4629 to give it its full official reference used by Fords.

The EC196TFS was the last British 'E'-prefixed' Canadian Ford. That said EC01QF F60Ls were delivered to S/M 2019 for Mid-East delivery in 1941 + which may have included the components for the SA Mark IVF, and although ostensibly a 1940-placed Contract these were delivered from 1941 so was a possible candidate.
However this is from the 1942 Canadian Contracts listing and it refers also to another possible Contract:
