Default Re: AEC gun tractor

Dave,

In Bart's original Observers Fighting Vehicles Directory, see page 173 for a photo of the prototype with soft skin cab and one with armoured cab. The engines were larger than the Matador or O854, being an AEC 9.5 litre of 150 bhp. The bodies are low silhouette, unlike the Matador or Militant.
