Morris PU pic
This interesting pic is courtesy of our own MLUer Keith Webb.
This is a PU Morris in Syria 1942, undergoing maintenance . The mechanic looks satisfied with himself .... maybe all PU owners end up in overalls at some time . He hasn't been confused by the autovac yet . WHAT DOES THE 'X' ON THE DOOR INDICATE ? Mike

Hi Mike
As you are a Morris man thought you might like this shot of a PU taken in 1939, it belongs to a Royal signals unit and DRLS stands for despatch rider letter service cheers Les |

Another one
The DRLS pic posted by Les : It's a very rare Mk 1 PU . Less than 100 built I believe . It has the Royal corps of signals thingy on the front .
Hub caps civilian bumber bar . Rounded bonnet, flush with rad surround . None of these have survived , as far as we know . This captured PU has two menacing Germans , looking mean ! Are those trafficators ? On the sides of the windscreen . That's a old pic of R. Ballards PU . The poor thing must have strained itself towing cars around , the chassis is now where near strong enough on these, for that kind of work. Yes, Where are those pics of the elusive 11 set ( Aust.) in the PU . Cm'on Richard, About time ! Mike .

Morris PU in Hong Kong
Morris PU and CS8 vehicles under new ownership in Hong Kong. The text of the PU description has been copied from my own research ... Hmm
https://digital.lib.hkbu.edu.hk/1941...tem&id=OJ00062 Re-spray job for a CS8...... incorrectly described as a PU. This CS8 has a metal panel GS body..... very strange. https://morrisregister.co.uk/wp-cont...ruary-2020.pdf
