Entered as 1941, but comment from link ^ "Later models could be identified by the offset position of the radiator cap, earlier models having these centrally mounted" noted. |

quite possible later than 1941, while tow trucks seem to be modified mil versions , this could be purchased originally for that purpose?! -- Last edit: 2014-12-21 23:20:51 |

CVA 801 = 1946 Lanarkshire plate. Anyone want to be brave and say this is a 1946 truck, or is it just a 1946 registration of an older WW2 disposal?? |

One of the last Edinburgh trams being taken to the James N. Connell scrapyard at Coatbridge to be broken up, so a 1946 Lanarkshire issue plate of an older WW2 disposal would seem likely. |
