Default Universal Carrier??

I have come across this Universal Carrier near where I live. It sparked my interest because it looks like a vehicle that was used in a TV program I watched as a kid called Thunder stone.

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138875/

I have tried to find footage of the show to prove my memory right, however I cannot find any. I may be wrong so if you have any ideas what this vehicle is, please share.

Hello,

I don't know about the carrier.

However, I reckon that is the back of a HQ Panel van in the background....

Hang-0n - where was this message posted from? ... Australia ... well there you go!

Kind regards
Lionel

Welcome to the forum Mr Drake. What does the N stand for ?

Someone has put a great deal of effort into that conversion. It looks very thorough even for a film prop. As Lionel said, there are interesting vehicles in that yard. Is the yellow one a Ford ?

That series is not listed on https://www.imcdb.org/, sadly.

The carrier chassis is an Australian made carrier, most likely a Universal Carrier MG, Local Pattern No. 2: Also known as "LP2 Carrier (Aust)"

Thank you everyone for the replies. Yes this is in Australia, Victoria. The owner has some very interesting tracked cranes and other weird vehicles.

As for my first name that shall remain a secret for now, we have only just met, and I'm a little shy.

here is the link again to the tv show https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0138875/
