Whether the vehicle is a genuine one from there or someone liked the colours who knows!


Totally off the current subject...

Robin,

Notice the intercom crew box in the photos...it's from the American VRC family of radios, the RT-524 (46 set here in Canada)

Strange to see that fitted in this vehicle... but ... may back up the BATUS idea on the paint scheme ...

Well, as a founding member of the Rivett Counters Society I award you a lifetime mebership for spotting that one and also beating me to it as I had only skimmed the photos!

Would the owner of the vehicle care to comment per chance? Maybe he had some Belgian junk left over or its really a Belgian vehicle in disguise as they used the M series stuff (M standing for "Merican" dont you know ;) )

The Belgians do use that intercom system. I doubt that the British Army would have wanted to use anything other than Clansman simply because they had so much Clansman stuff.

What colour is the engine? Is it red?
