Heads Up: CMPs for sale in Holland

[Hanno Spoelstra]

This C60L was featured in a thread before (in the days of The Old Forum), I am posting a link to the owner's site here if anyone is interested. Please note this is not a proper CMP Wrecker, but a C60L fitted with a Holmes Wrecker body.

or Marcel de Vrij 06-51938346

I know both trucks once resided in the UK, the C15TA is ex-Geoffrey Maskell´s CZ4287885.

No connection with the seller, just like to see these CMP´s end up at a good home.

If you are going to pursue any of these vehicles, please let the sellers know you saw them here.

And one of the Ford, too:

If that is the ex Tony Sudds truck ex UK then it’s unique because it has a factory fitted Ford front axel and a GM rear. I think there was a small batch of fewer than 100 so fitted as a result of shipping losses in the N Atlantic around Dec 1940 if memory is correct

I can't tell, Pete. Maybe you recognise the UK registration number FSU640? I can tell you it is priced as a unique vehicle.

My early 13-cab Ford had the same. Bizarre.

Turns out his C15 was sold by its owner, Jan Roelse, to Guy Gilis in Belgium, and was then sold on to Mr Raab in the Czech Republic.
