The Gun tractor body in the photo above is for a Karrier KT4. These were supplied to the Indian Army via the British government's India Office.
The bodies were built by BLSP in Slough, England. The sandbags in the background are because the factory was well inside the area that could be bombed. Surveyor Samuel's car looks like it could be mended, it only has little holes in it ! David |

Car ID?
Does anyone recognize the little perforated roadster's make and model?
The car carries the unit sign of the Northern Territory Public Works Department, part of the Commonwealth Department of the Interior (hence the D of I code on the image). The Unit sign was a yellow square with black numerals. Mike |

Thanks Mike. Thought it had to be something like that.

I believe Morris's (z?) came to N.Z. post war as cab/chassis (complete front with windscreen, build the rest your self) My guess is that the Austin Seven was the same?
I wonder how Surveyor Sam fared?
