Anyone familiar with this R.N. Renault?

Derek,

The bodywork is not familiar but guess it is for a diving team, hence the large access doors on the body. The actual truck although Renault, is the successor to Commer and British Dodge trucks, one time built at Dunstable but probably not anymore. The Brit Army used these for certain no-combat roles, such as box body vans, etc. It looks like the Bedford fleet will be replaced by a US made truck and Oshkosh are supplying the tank transporters. Pinzgauar (spelling?) are replacing Land Rovers in some roles, but at least they are built in England. Foden and Leyland DAF are owned by Paccar. Britain put wheels under all corners of the world now look where we are
