Was this vehicle fiction, or is there some basis in fact? Are there any photos anywhere?
Annoyingly I can find no reference to the vehicle & I can remember no more than that, although I did note the other day that a wargaming company called, I think, King and Country, are offering a model of a 'desertised' and armed Bentley, complete with Vickers Ks. I assume as a raiding car along the lines of the ' Blitz Buggy '. vehicle? Can anyone elaborate?Īs a youngster in the late 60s or early 70s I can remember reading somewhere about a Bentley tourer being used by, (probably), the S.A.S. using ' two Opel trucks and a Kubel ' Can anyone give any further information on these vehicles? I recall also seeing a Bedford OX 30cwt GS truck in Afrika Korps markings at an event some years ago and I wonder if that was a mock up of an S.I.G. I am reading 'Alamein - War Without Hate ' at the moment and within it are some references to the Special Interrogation Group and their vehicles being used in several SAS operations in North Africa. Can anyone be more specific about the colour scheme?
Does anyone know what type of guns & how they were mounted, or in the case of the Vickers Ks, how many there were and where they were fitted? I have read that the vehicle was grey or light green or olive grey, with an air recognition marking across the bonnet. I have read that the car was armed initially with a mix of guns and later with Vickers Ks. A vehicle that intrigues me is the Ford C11ADF' Blitz Buggy ' used in North Africa by Col.
