If the price is 4500 euro someone is going to have a very good deal.
I think he probably does mean 45000 euro and with the shortage of good carriers someone silly may pay it.

Hi Neil and others. This is my first time on here! I have been following some of the threads lately. Especialy the derilict carrier coming from Canada. I'll follow that with interest. As Neil and Nigel know. I have owned a MK2 Canadian carrier for a good few years now. I have prepared it in Welsh Guard stowage, and it's marked up in 43rd Wessex.

Ron, you have an awesome carrier ! are you in the UK ? mind folks Neil and I do not mean to cause offence or suggest the carrier on milweb is not worth much, its more a case of "BLIMEY ARE THEY FETCHING THAT MUCH" material value is in the eye of the beholder as they say

Welcome
Hi Ron
Good to see you on here. For those of you who may not know of Ron you must see his work, so I'm glad the photos of it are appearing. His carrier is fantastic as are all his other vehicles. His was one of the first carriers I viewed when starting the research for my books and left me thinking about mine!!! Nigel

I remember the first carrier I ever saw in real life too, Ronald Truscotts Loyd was the first I ever rode in and first Loyd I'd seen and yours was the one I remember seeing prior to my book research. So there! You wouldn't like to take it over to Normandy and display it at Tilly sur Seulles. I would look after it. I'm attending the Normandy Book Fair which I was invited to, they were looking for a carrier to display outside their museum. Nigel

No carrier to Normandy this year Nigel. I'm heavily involved in the 65th motorcycle tour. We have a special invite from the mayor of Arramanches to attend the ceremonies on D Day, we are anticipating 130-150 bikes. Ron

ok an update on this carrier, Antonio sent me a few pictures of it, a few things dont add up perhaps Nigel may clarify, but from my limited knowlege it appears to be a Mk1 fitted out with Mk2 bits, the front gunners plate is one peice without the fold down section (i thought this was mk2) the gauge is Mk2, the fender skirts appear not to be correct, nevertheless a really nice carrier, hope he gets what he wants for it !

We need to know the true number and date of manufacture stamped on the top front armour plate.
It certainly appears to be a Mk1 and if the head lights are correct of Canadian manufacture. The Mk11 components are probably a post war add on. So he is looking for 45,000 euro for the vehicle?

It is always very difficult and at the same time one can't help but try and label carriers of this sort. As Neil suggests the only way of finding out which model of carrier this was manufactured as, is by its stamping numbers and even then it will only show the type it was ordered as. If for instance its numbers showed it to be part of a production of say 1000 MkI carriers but that sometime mid production the manufacturer changed to the MkII spec then did they stop the MkI before starting the MkII? Or did the MkI carry on with MkII parts until all MkI parts were used? As far as the fixed side armour is concerned, early drawings show fixed armour on early MkI carriers, mine has fixed armour on its original front armour. Another upgrade within the MkI production? Its all very interesting but it is great to see carriers "coming out" so to speak! The price? It only takes one but excessive I think. Its the price I would put on mine (because I didn't want to sell it!!) lol Nigel
