rjluna2 ◊ 2012-08-22 23:42	Could this be the Standard version?

Ingo ◊ 2012-08-23 21:38	@rjluna2: in that years there was no shiny Export-version. It was build under control of the British Army and only for official purposes. No possibility for a private person or private company to purchase one. No export before 1947. -- Last edit: 2012-08-23 21:40:34
rjluna2 ◊ 2012-08-23 21:58	That makes sense. They build the early post-war vehicles with whatever parts they have on their hand. The factory was really in shambles when the war was over.
andrepa ◊ 2012-08-23 23:31	@rjluna2 + ingo: what about additional mid headlight/searchlight? > official purpose car -- Last edit: 2012-08-23 23:33:38
rjluna2 ◊ 2012-08-24 02:54	Unknown at that point
