Interesting site and when I hit it from the US it worked.

Now as to coverage in MLU clarification is needed, are MVs used by Commonwealth Forces, or built in covered under the umbrella?

What about Universal carriers used my the US Marines- the other direction of US Lead Lease logical for the Carrier Forum.

Just kidding around

Cheers Phil

i dont think the 1 carrier the USMC browered counts as the marines useing it.

must be listed in the TO&E to count

Hallo Jaap,

Yes, the first picture is the actual ad for your truck's body which triggered Dirk, and the second picture is the body shortly after it arrived at Dirk's.

There is at least one more of these bodies in Holland, albeit an early warning body on a "proper" Morris-Commercial C4:

HTH,
Hanno

To be truthful Mike I accually like the uniqueness of the typical WW2 and pre war English built military trucks whether they be Morris, Leyland or Fordson or any of the other makes. They are a reminder of just how 'behind the times' the English automobile industry really was plus judging by a lot of the post war vehicles they produced they also did not learn anything at all during the war about vehicle design either.

Just my luck, spent 14 years looking for photos of a 1944 Morris C8 GS in Army use [think i found about 3]

then as soon as i sold the Morris, these came up for sale, so had to buy them [20 photos in all inc some Bedfords]. British Army in Korea in 1951. REME unit. in the last photo there are Bedfords Morris & a Humber box. Original Photos from my collection.
