As a 'plan B' Vauxhall adapted a Bedford GL by mounting its engine, cab and gearbox on an elevated girder frame some seven feet high, with a chain drive transmitting power to the [[propshaft]]. The ungainly but effective vehicle demonstrated it was a viable solution should hastily extemporised waterproofing kits fail but they proved effective and so no specialised type was required.<ref>{{Cite book|title=Military Transport of World War II|last=Ellis|first=Chris|last2=Bishop|first2=Denis|publisher=Blandford Press Ltd|year=|isbn=0-7137-0702-X|location=167 High Holborn, London WC1V 6PH|pages=129}}</ref>
