A rather belated reply to a 25 April posting about the Crossley Kegresse.

Roger Bone who restored the Crossley BGV 6-wheeler acquired the remains of a Crossley 15-20 Kegresse which he found in France where the Kegresse bogie was being used to restore a Citroen but it did provide Roger with the correct gearbox and a few other bits. He had originally used the transmission from a 14hp Crossley car but that would not stand up to the loads on it and failed.

The restored Crossley 6-wheeler seems to have gone into hiding.

I have corrected the engine block entry on the Crossley website from monobloc to pair cast. 

I am puzzled by the 1938 date on Louie's log book as I understood that deliveries did not start until August 1939 but there are lots of holes in our knowledge of Crossley military production.
