Chorehorse generators

[Colin R]

I know this has probably been talked about numerous times! but as I'm new to the CMP addiction I was wondering if anyone out there would take pity on me, and if possible give me some idea on the type of generator which would have been fitted onto the C8 wireless vehicle.
As I put on the title, i was wondering if it was a chorehorse? What one actually looks like up close or its specs I just haven't got a scooby!
HELP!!!!
