Ford/Marmon-Herrington Umbau-Wagen

[David_Hayward (RIP)]

I suggest Belgian as well. Chassis assembled by Ford in Antwerpen/Anvers. As to Romania, this was a subsidiary of Ford of Britain, and vehicles were supplied by Dagenham for assembly although the diverted [undeliverable] vehicles were sequestred by the Ministry of Supply..hence 'R' prefixes before the model number. These were Models R01T, left hand drive, with 01T front ends ex-USA, shipped to Dagenham and then meant to be shipped on. These were bodied as panel vans or converrted to ambulances.

I have never seen any reference to M-H sales to Ford Werke, Koln, although we now know that there were secret US truck sales, namely the WIFO trucks, which were assembled in Koln and then supplied to the German forces. I seem to recall seeing pix in WHEELS & TRACKS of Koln's answer to the Opel Allrad Blitz trucks, with 4-wheel drive. This would have been an idigenous transmission layout.
