Has anyone got photos of the second vehicle with its clothes on

Modified GT Chassis C291QH

Range must have been limited as it only has a single 12 and a 1/4 gallon tank although an auxiliary tank (Unknown size) was installed when the hull was fitted

Hello David,

Is the book you bought the same as the one spotted on Trademe by Ryan?

David,

Thanks to research done previously in MLU, we know that under contract S/M 2256, 480 C291QH "4 x 4 F.A.T. for Royal Engineers" were exported to India. Interestingly, I have been looking for what these chassis looked like "as supplied", the answer was here under my nose on MLU

I think this chassis was used as the basis for the Armoured Truck, 4x4, Indian Pattern. See a attached scan from Bart Vanderveen's book Historic Military Vehicle Directory.

Would it be possible for you to scan the manual and make it available to us here on MLU?

Hanno
