Yes the WC54, A closed vehicle I've a photo of No 6 SLU they had two WC54 a WC64 and a German Staff car. The SLU's were the units that recived the 'Product' from Bletcxhley in a diffrent Cypher, then dechyphired and passed the info onto the officers cleard to recive it.

 

A lot of care was taken to ensure that the scource of ULTRA information was disgused to prevent any any hint of where it came from.

 

I've a hypothosis that Rudolf Roessler's Lucy Spy Ring was a front to pass certain ULTRA information to Stalin, again in a disgused form.

There is a interesting book I read recently , the book describes the MI6 operations , it details the mobile MI6 units . They used Guy Ant Wireless Vans and modified US 3/4 Ton Dodge WC Ambulances . The unit also used Packard sedans . Their job was to disseminate the Y intercepts to the Generals in the field . One MI6 mobile unit followed Patton around and the intercepts were hand delivered , each car had its own special wireless sets, these were hand built by the MI6 workshops

It seems one of the Packards came up for auction back in Feb 2007. It's probably still about. http://www.british-car-auctions.co.uk/Classic-Cars/Previous-results-holding-page/Blackbushe---Monday-19th-Febru/1938-Packard-Eight-120-Sedan/&iact=mrc&uact=8
