Hi Hanno, Yes it is, one of only 14 made according to the book, will look for some date stamps but built in 1936 - 1937 I think.

Where had that been hiding Kevin? I would have thought they were obsolete before WW2 even started!

Hi, It had been saved by a gentleman many years ago and now I have it I’m going to restore it, still has its engine, gearbox and radiator in. I’ll have a proper look at the CMM number to see exactly what it is, but I understand from reading Nigel’s book several of the 12 or 14 were modified for development purposes, this one appears to be still in its original configuration.
One interesting point is the front idler is mounted lower than the later carriers. Kevin

Incredible that it survived.
This adds to the development story, with the Scout and Bren survivors.
Please post detail pics when you can of the pedals if they are still there, and the rear of the hull with the towing eyes etc. Rob

Hi Rob, unfortunately the foot pedal are no longer there, but a picture of the tow arrangement is attached.
This is CMM 985 which is T1829 which was the second carrier built by Vickers Armstrong under contract T2996 one of 14 made. I will contact Bovington to try and get more details and pictures if they have any of this carrier.
