Excellent find guys! I am sure it will look excellent behind the FA(S)T.

Attached is a pic taken in Antwerp, Belgium. source: National Archives Canada 40843
I have also seen a number of pics of 17pdr's being towed by Morris Quads, both the beetle back as well as the the later type.

There is supposed to be the remnants of an old 25 pdr limber in the cambrian yard. But by what I have read the limber did not go with the 17 pdr.
Haven't seen pics of Quads, 17pdr's combined with Limber (yet), but Crusader Gun Tractors did sometimes use the Limber combined with 17pdr gun. Anyone know what the ammo storage looked like?
