PIcs of T16-E2 Universal Carriers in Argentina
Hello everyone!!! I´m not new to the MV world but new to the carrier one! Intresting forum the one you have here. I have also seen some old posts of fellow T16 owners here in Argentina.
After WW2, together with lots of MVs and equipment, Argentina bought 280 T16-E2 Universal Carriers. That´s the reason we have so "many" down here. I have always liked Universal Carriers of all types and recently bought a 1945 T16-E2 Ford Universal Carrier. Quite complete and for restoring. Recently, on a trip to a "secret" location  where several other T16-E2 still exist, I was able to snap some pics. And bring me a donor one, just in case..... Cheers from Argentina Gaston MVPA member# 17535 Last edited by dongaston70; 10-10-12 at 01:53. Reason: PIctures don´t appear

Nice to see there is still another large stash of T-16 parts and project vehicles in the world. SECo here in the USA got tired of sitting on all of their spare parts and track and scrapped it all a long time ago.

More pictures of the carriers
I´m glad you liked the pictures, Ryan, Richard and David!!! That´s great. You are the experts!!!
This scrapyard (located in the argentine province of Mendoza, next to the Andes mountains) used to have twenty T16-E2 UCs. Many of them don´t have the engine or transmission, however, they were absolutely complete and most were running when bought at auction in 1981, all in one lot. Over the years, many of the Ford V8 flathead engines were sold to power old trucks still in use. A pity. There are still seven there. As I said before, I brought one home as a donor (complete with engine and tranny), with tracks apart and not installed. I have another T16-E2 mostly complete, ex-Argentine Army for restoring. Here are some other pics. More will follow. Hope you enjoy.

I know a mate of mine who would give his first born for those two handle in pic 5 of post 5.
He had his in a garbage bag and his eldest threw the bag out with the weekly garbage . . . . . . Doh!  Buy the lot, no question. You would not be a bona fide MV person not to make some excuse and save them, they are no more coming from any factories I know of. R

worth clubbing together?
Could we carrierless mortals club together and get them shipped to the UK or somewhere convenient?
I'm guessing you could get two or three in a shipping container and their condition looks fantastic!

I talked to the owner the other day, and he is now asking for almost 3X as much as to what I paid for my basically complete donor just three months ago........ A pity. If I only could understand the weird minds of scrapyard owners.....
Regards
