If that roof hasn't been digitally stretched it won't be much use to anyone other than Hanno or Euan.

Ah yes, extra headroom is always welcome! Mind you though, in my experience the Cab 13 is one of the roomiest of WW2 trucks. In many I could not even begin to fit my 6'6" frame behind the steering wheel and work the controls.

A photo of you sitting in the drivers seat of a jeep or C8 with your knees acting as ear plugs would create a laugh or two Hanno.

Cliff, it sure does. I got to drive a jeep a few weeks ago during the Market Garden commemorations and I must say it was a tight fit. I wanted it to happen as driving a jeep from the Ginkel Heath landing zone to the Arnhem bridge was too much of a historic opportunity to miss. It was very memorable, though the next day my bum realised me I wasn't built to fit in a jeep
