It´s an F8 actually and was first shown at Beltring 5 years ago with good results - see quote below:

I was surprised to see this Hanno,

I was contacted by a collector in Eastern Europe last year who said that money had changed hands and the truck was on it's way to him, looks like the deal fell through. I hope it finds a good home this time round

Haven't we seen this before?

Lost the poppy and gained a few pounds with those mirrors...

Seems like a nice truck though if you want to do a lot of events.

Yes indeed, I now took some time to search this thread and found Gareth offered it for sale here in 2011 for £8500 ono, apparenty not selling he put it on ebay in 2012 and again earlier this year with a wining bid of £5000. Now for sale again by a new owner after gaining a few pounds - like you said, Alex

The rear body looks non-standard, could well be one of the F15 4x2 chassis/cabs delivered to the UK to be fitted with a Polsten gun. It seems not all were actually fitted with the 20-mm AA gun, and were quickly sold off post-war to be fitted with various types of bodies in civvie street.
