There are no dealers, these are truly rare vehicles. The few private owners
have already scoured the land for parts and hand-make most of the missing
pieces.
The route to a correctly and well restored CMP is neither easy or quick.

Which probably accounts for the popularity and numbers of these types,
Australia is a better bet since the larger amount of surplus went there.
The M series took some 4 pages of double columns to list at Beltring this
weekend, the CMP's didn't make the fingers of one hand.
Best of Show, medium truck and CMP was taken by a vehicle that lives but 400
yds from here and I have had the privilege of getting my hands dirty on it
quite regularly ! It may still be featured on Rod Diery's CMP page and is
in the current
W & T.
