Detachment to Sennybridge Camp (119 miles) took two days to drive thanks to the ever present possibility of rolling over due to the high centre of gravity which precluded speed above 25mph on major roads and 15mph on twisty bits. The lack of organic transport meant that we deployed with hired National Carriers trucks, bright yellow, which matched the colour of the bowser.

This was captured by the British and the body mounted on the Leyland. The Lancia was fitted with solid tyres which is maybe why the body was fitted to the Leyland. 2 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted December 11, 2022 RMweb Premium Share Posted December 11, 2022 They even reproduced some features from when the body was mounted on the Lancia such as the slight curve in the sides where the wheel arches intruded. If you look carefully you can see the indentation just forward of the rear wheel. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
