Morris portee
 

for anybody thats interested have located a MORRIS GUN PORTEE in SCOTLAND..fairly complete but only one jack...buyer looking for about £1,700.00GBP...I can put anybody in touch with the collector..best regards malcolm :salute:

never heard of one of these before Malcolm...just googling it....looks quite cool, does it still run ? any pics ?

Malcolm,

Do you mean the Morris-Commercial C9/B (Bofors), officially known as CARRIER, SP, 4x4, 40mm AA (BOFORS) 30-cwt as in the first picture on the left?

Or do you mean the Morris-Commercial C8/MG Portee, officially known as Truck 4x4 AT Portee (2-pdr) - see second picture on thr right?

I am asking as the C8/MG Portee did not have jacks, whereas the C9/B Bofors has.

Thanks,
Hanno

just looking at the pics... i take it if you drove one of these.....you just got wet ?

C'mmon Richie, real men who drive these kinds of trucks don't get wet! Ok, maybe they sweat a little. . . :D

H.

so if you drive them say....In the North East of England....you dont sweat....but you do get wet....and as likely not to be a real man.... you get sad.....hhehehehehe. cant beleive how exposed the driver is...for an AFV its crackers

Wait until you get driving your Carrier out in the NE England weather, it will be like driving a tin bath, when it rains :D :D

Richard you have never lived till you have driven a vehicle across the causeway to Holy Island as the tide is comming in!not recommended in anything smaller than a Militant! Im sure he said it was a 9 if thats any clearer!used to have a Bofors gun on the flatbed...no can and only 1 jack left..engine complete but he hasnt tried to run it..says vehicle is complete...located Northeast scotland...this chap always has good kit as ex Reme...he was stationed at Kinegar when I was in Lisburn NI...cheers malcolm :drunk:
