Heads Up: 2Pdr Anti-Tank Carrier- Littlefield collection

[Mike Cecil]

Having seen this vehicle on a couple of occasions, the last time in 2012, I would not agree that it is a 'perfectly restored condition'.

Note the registration number ..... the signwriter must have been dyslexic!

O.K. Mike,............can you please explain? I can't see the dfference

[Mike Cecil]

The carrier displays '4086', while the hull number (and hence the correct registration number) is '6084'.

Mike that's a bit like the Ford M/H Dingo at the AWM. 77160 on one side and 77610 on the other.

Regards Rick.

[Mike Cecil]

I think you are a bit out of date, Rick. An early error by a conservator, long since corrected (or so I'm told).

As a matter of interest does anyone know if the Marmon herrington Two man tank is still in the collection to be sold? as I still have the complete driveline here for one Regards Ron

[Ian Mastin]

All so to a matter of interest is that an air cleaner mounted on the front under the gun ? to me it looks like one out of a Fordson WOT.

These pics are from a forum/Littlefield site from about 5-6 years ago.
Shows that air cleaner.

A bit like the kubelwagen which had its spare wheel upside down for a long time. We all have our bloopers.

[Mike Cecil]

Ahh, the 'Zibelfritzer' .... it was a debacle from the moment it was acquired (way, way before my time). The spare wheel was the least of its myriad of problems!! Virtually the only original parts were the floor pan and some fittings.

NOT my favorite collection vehicle, and I would have been quite happy to see it gone/replaced with a more original example. I'd better stop at that point.

I'll pick up this and kick it along... went and saw the AWM Kubel when I was working on a fellows original one and my Kommanderwagen. This was about 14 or so years back. Somewhere below not good to why bother.
I don't usually comment on other peoples restorations as time, money, ability and drive factors are different for everyone... but the government wasted my money on this one. I don't even like the colour.
