Default Specialist vehicles

I am not sure that any figures have been quoted for GTs but on top of the chassis-cab price had to be added the body price. The F60H bodies were supplied in Canada and also, as were a myriad of other bodies, from UK companies. I now have a complete list of all Canadian contracts for bodies by type and UK supplier but no figures are quoted for costings, just numbers ordered. So, the body cost had to be added in the UK and paid for through the High Commission to the Ministry of Supply. The M of S ordered the bodies as agents, and also bar three plants that operated under direct CMHQ contract, organised the assembly of vehicles by companies all round the country which the High Commission had to pay for as well. We needed those dollars!
