OK, here she is. I know very little about these carriers, old cars are more to my interest, but a friend who has been restoring universal carriers for over 20 years suggests that this one may be very rare. We believe it to be an early model Mark 1 carrier, possibly british, with several inconsistencies from the Canadian production versions including: A brass shifting gate, a slot in the engine cover to accomodate a dipstick for the fuel tank (earlier models didn,t have fuel gauges) and spring mounts on the rear axle housing, also not found on later models. The armour plating is all intact and uncut and it still has the original flathead V8 engine. I,m attaching a few photos, so if anyone has any information to offer, it would be greatly appreciated. If anyone would like more pictures, please email me at
