Details, details, always details.

Just found this photo which shows clearly the split window on the top set of panels on the roof of the vehicle and the lift up cover on the other side.
As I said earlier, many modifications on these vehicles.

Hi Dirk,

to Your question about the differences between Leyland and Guy. Here two pics of these vehicles out of the book "British Military Trucks of World War Two" by Les Freathy. The Guy FBAX can be identified by the circular-shaped Guy logo on the upper end of the radiator, the rectangular fuel tank behind the cab on the co-driver´s side, and the rounded mount for the crank starter below the radiator casing.

Best regards

Bert

I believe that the German wreck is in fact a Horch 108 rather than the 901 illustrated, the wreck doesn't have the foot step that the 901 had and the engine compartment looks far too wide to be the 901.

This is just a pic I found on the internet for comparison.

I'm not so sure, Alan:

The two major id points I relied on were the shape of the cowl where the windscreen meets the rear of the engine hood and the remains of the built in cover over the center spare tyre and wheel. If you look at my photo, you can see the cover, which still remains on the wreck and the longer more curved meeting of the windscreen and the engine hood.

On the 108, the wheel is merely sitting in a cut out sort of opening in the body work and the meeting of the windscreen and the engine hood is quite abrupt and short.

Just some thoughts.

hi,

Its a Medium car, see the front door hinge positions, on the scuttle side for the Medium and to the rear of the door, near the spare wheel, for the Heavy car.
