It really doesn't quite look like the 1948 Series I.
I'm impressed. Even the colonial radiomen know their stuff and all aboot LRs.

Of course it is; even if the hole for the rad cap is almost invisible, I just wonder if Skags didn't deduce it wouldn't quite be an ordinary LR and work from there.

A genuine production item although only something like 54 were eventually made; not surprising when the whole LR cost 450 quid, the replacement B40 some 200 quid and you still had to pay for the modification work. Of course the standard LR did the same job without the fiddle and expense of fitting the RR B40, surprising the powers didn't notice earlier.

FV18001. Truck, ¼ ton, GS, Cargo, Rover, Mk1.
