Heavy Haulage
Local Pattern Bren Carrier, Scorpion and NZ Patterned Wheeled Carrier.
Of note was the first official outing for the New Zealand Patterned Wheeled Carrier. This was an accumulation of two years of a full "nut and bolt" restoration by a local young enthusiast. It runs the Canadian rear engine chassis with the ever ready Flathead V8 , on 20" tires and weighs in at 5 Tons. The chassis numbers are from the 1943 period of production, that came to NZ , 99 in total, and 76 were completed as full bodies, by war's end. Also used by NZ forces in Korea and some through to the 60's. Cheers Andrew.
