Yes its like waiting for a bus, you wait a long time them 3 turn up at the same time . think £7,000 for one is a bit high.

Photos of my 1944 Morris rad muff photos from my collection. Has MCC. C 1944 8. WD on front of muff. Might fit other Morris trucks as well. Quite a rare bit of kit.

Hi, I’ve been looking up the Morris GS 8 as well. Period images seem as rare as rocking horse poo.
I typed in Malayan Campaign, this was the only image I found.

Looks like a Compressor C8 truck.
I think these are factory photos.
