Brian, I agree with Hanno....really interesting to see this HUP was in a newspaper article in it's country of Birth!
Quote:
HUPs were very popular as buses here in Holland after the war, along with Austin K2's with AFS body and also Bedford MW's and Fordson WOT's, although those last two received a whole new rear body. My father is very interested in classic trains, buses and trams and I remember seeing pictures of the original HUP Ypenburg in one of his books. I will see if I can find the pic. Alex

hmm, that was easier than I thought. Here is an online picture of the (or one of the?) HUP Ypenburg bus.

With one HUP rear end and one 15cwt it must get in quite a bind in 4x4 mode with the different ratios. They probably wonder why there's no power in 4 wheel drive.

HUP Ypenburg bus.
Looks like this is a standard 4x4 variant and the body work more original.Nice to see such good use of a well built vehicle. Original MINI BUS when compared to the Yellow and white bus in the background at the bus museum in first post.
As for spare wheels i guess they would keep a selection at the service garage and take a replacement out to the vehicle, After all the pace of life would be that much slower! Thanks for sharing the excellent information. I wonder how many of these HUP buses are lurking in barns ready to be discovered.

To smooth or not to smooth that is the question
Mark and Terry
Raise and interesting restoration question about military vehicles, how good should the sheet metal finish be? In this case were the HUP had a long and productive life after military service the level of body finish and paint work is extremely appropriate. Just as the CMPs that were proudly used by garages were the quality of the sheet metal refitting was an example of the shops ability. But should smoothing out the welded seams of the standard production be the rule? Or filling in the dimples of the original spot welds? Doing an invisible seam on a panel where you are replacing rust then yes that to me is appropriate. Cheers Phil
