Default C8 portees in OZLAND

David your knowledge of MCC military vehicle history far exceeds what any of us knows....

I know of around six Morris Commercial 4X4 C8 2 pounder portess here in OZ . All are in a dreadful state with no rear body left . There was one lying in Kilmore wrecking yard just Nth of Melbourne in the late 70's , it was crushed in a scrap metal purge .

Two others were owned by a MV club member here and are reportedly back in Melbourne somewhere . Both are incomplete.

Another three were in NSW owned by a well known collector, all incomplete . One is pictured . The NZ one pictured looks to be a good restoration item . We got no MCC artillery quads though , seems the kiwis got em instead .
