[Keith Brooker]

Some 1944 Morris C8 GS photos. some from my photo collection and some from websites, any one have any more photos of them

[Neil Ashley]

Is there any evidence of the Morris seeing any war-time active service as some people describe them like the Austin K6's as being effectivly post-war vehicles due to their late war introduction dates.

Hi Neil, I have only seen two photos of them in 1945, one was in a victory prade in Germany with a RA Rgt, that was in Wheels & Tracks Mag and one in the UK in devon,apart from that i have not seen any in war time use, at best they were used 6 months before the end of the war. most photos i have seen have them used in Korea.

Yes there were at least two GS versions here. One is restored and was for sale a few years back in QLD. The body fitted to this vehicle doesn't look correct http://www.mapleleafup.net/forums/sh...ad.php?t=29873

Around twenty C8 4x4 portees are listed in the ARN 126 books . A friend had two of these without the portee bodywork. I can recall looking at the unusual sub-chassis that the cabs sat on.
