Default cab 12 portees

Ah ! the cab 12 potty again .

I was at the show two weeks back where John Belfield exhibited his 2 pounder portee body on the cab 12 F60L chassis . John 's portee looked very original to me although he had taken measurments from a original body owned by Albert Bowden of Whittlesea and some small bits were fabricated in his workshop , but the result is most impressive . These were usually seen on the chev chassis as all the pics I have seen of them are chevs . I think GMH built the bodies , not sure as some variations exist .

The big problem for restorers of these things is finding a 2 pounder gun .

I have a factory drawing of the MCC 17 pounder C8 body , showing stowage etc.



Mike
