G`day to all
A brief introduction : Iam restoring a couple of carriers and also have a jeep and a blitz waiting in line. My interest in M.Vs started at a young age as my father had a large collection of vehicles which consisted of: a stuart, half track, numerous versions of the carrier, white scout cars, 12 and 13 cab blitz's, jeeps, and stude's. In the mid to late 80s he sold the whole collection most of them to a wholesaler in victoria, iam now trying to locate the vehicles to find out if they are DEAD or ALIVE. Having some succsess iam still coming up to brick walls, so i am turning to the people in M.L.U land for assistance.The one i am keen on finding is an English carrier whith the number T33474 (see in attached photo) so if anyone can shed some light and may know of its whereabouts i would be greatly appreciated i did here a small rumour that it went to the U.K. but not confirmed

regards: Fletch.

Kevin Powles (Collector)

Nick Bullock (CMP and Carrier collector)

Barry Read (collector)

Shaun Hindle (Tramps in Armour / East England Military Museum)

Nigel Watson (author of the carrier books, www.universalcarrierbook.co.uk)
