This vehicle was unofficially modified with extra plating on the roof, floor and commander's seat by Capt. Gull (Technical Adjutant, 1st Battalion, Coldstream Guards, Guards Armoured Division).
It covered 11,500 miles in North West Europe without breakdown, starting at Arromanches on 3rd July 1944 and finished at Cuxhaven at Wars end. It was then driven to Cologne and brought back to the U.K.
