Default Staffcar Maj. Gen. A. Bruce Matthew 2nd. CID

Hello

Here's a photo of the staffcar belonging to Maj. Gen. A. Bruce Matthew, commander 2nd. Canadian Infantry Division.
The photo was taken 18th. April 1945 outside Groningen townhall after the germans had surrendered, the General visited the Major of Groningen.
I would like to know what kind of car this is.

Default C11 ADF sold at auction in August

see the link for more info
http://www.rmauctions.com/FeatureCar...rID=r119&fc=0#
Sold August 2009 for $US71,500. So that's what the market thought one car was worth on that date.

Apart from a CMP that would have to be one of the most beautiful things on four wheels.

Default Staff Cars

Hi I thought you might like to see a couple of civilian cars I used to have some years ago. The Humber had the wheel arches cut and widened four inches and the boot floor cut at an angle as per the army cars had done at the Briggs works. The picture with the Dutch number plate was after I sold the car.

Cheers Stan.

Default RHAF staff car

Hello all,

I am afraid that I am terrible at car recognition . Could any of you more knowledgeable gents please tell me what this is? It was in use by the Royal Hellenic Air Force in 1940. The front end looks like an Opel Olympia but it has a split windscreen, the rear wings are different and the side-lights on the front wings are not Opel.
I wish I could get those blokes out of the way .

Thanks in advance

Fyll

This is a damaged Ford lost by the BEF together with unfortunate casualty.

It carries the markings of 2 Corps and would appear to have been allocated to a medium regiment; Royal Artillery.

Slightly off topic but the WW2 French Generals seemed very fond of big American cars , any one any photos?
