    I found this and thought it was not the normal run of the mill these were ordered in 1942 by the BRITISH GOVERNMENT from the CANADIANS they where shipped to scotland to permit training by the army during the winter of 42/43 but there was no snow in scotland that year so the army could not commence training program THREE where sent to the U S S R BUT no trials results came back as to how they performed THE reason this interested me in the winter of 1942 /43 my father was attached to the 52 nd lowland division at AVIEMORE so he may have seen them

    TONY the forty thousand vehicles took three and a half years to sell it raised the most money of any sale of wartime vehicle sale i have two of every catalogue there is a code for condition price for every one these where the accountants books as well as the orginal acounts who was working for the ministry of supply IT GIVES EVERY REGISTRATION NUMBER
  22. wally dugan
    AS one of those sad people who collect sales catalogues the information in them is of limited interest unless you want to as said know what the price of say a queen mary trailer in 1945 which was 19 pounds 19 shillings or the wartime registration number or condition to me it is of great importance but in one case the largest sale of wartime vehicles there are over forty thousand listed vehicles THIS bit of history is as important as when it was made or where it served its the on going story
