Model: 1954 LHD kombi (231)
Chassis Number: 20-104144
History: This is a Dutch barn door, that has been fitted out as a catastrophe wagon, and appears to have had limited use. The roof was fitted with a ladder rack, blue flashing light, air-horns etc. The cargo area is empty and I can see no evidence of anything out of the ordinary ever being installed? The engine appears to be the original as does most of the vehicle. The doors still have a coat of arms/ crest and I will be trying to further uncover the history of this vehicle.		 20_104144.jpg (50045 bytes) 20-104144.jpg (51418 bytes)
