1941 Ford V8 C11ADF Staff Car (11A-79)

Some photos via favcars dot com; looks like they got them from the RM Sotheby's auction catalogue. These are the only photo's I could find back on the internet, I am pretty sure at the time of auction there were many more on the RM Sotheby's auction site.

Can't recollect any photos showing the underside but one of the dash did not show any auxiliary switches or data plate. Would have been nice to have known its history prior to restoration. The Nick Alexander’s dash, no auxiliary switches or data plate above speedo, as fitted to all contract ADF’s and AS’s and see on mine."

Ian McCallum noted “interesting in looking at the Chassis numbers I have managed to collect, including my own, they all follow the same sequence of 2D-xxxx-F which is completely different from that shown in the Auction details.”

So I get the impression this Station Wagon was not a C11ADF originally

Hanno.

In the last photo of your Post. #10, the wooden tool box in the trunk is actually the wooden tool box for a Wireless Set No. 52 Canadian, painted up the same colour as the vehicle by the looks of it.

I stand corrected, Hanno.

The lid on this tool box sits a lot deeper than the one for the 52-Set. Same overall design, however.
