WW1 Karrier Lorry ID ?
Hello members,
I’d like some info to identify a wreck I found pushed off a cliff. Not a lot left but some small parts mght be recoverable with some considerable physical exertion. I brought up one small casting and a headlight bracket, and even that took me and hour and a half of climbing ! All castings have ‘KARR’ and a part number on them. Any info appreciated Cheers Phill First attempt at posting pics. Think I’ve worked it out...

And finally for now...
I can recover most of the smaller parts over time, but the rear axle tube and the bent chassis - no chance unfortunately...
Cheers Phill

Wrecked
Unfortunately this terrific old truck has plunged hundreds of feet off a cliff and been burnt repeatedly.
There us no way the mangled chassis could possibly be recovered unfortunately except to cut it into man pack sized pieces ! I will attempt to recover as many portable parts as possible. It is located near some other wrecks which have parts worth carrying back up the cliffs over time. Cheers Phill

Hi Phill, The marking KARR is more likely to indicate the truck was made by Karrier. A British manufacturer. Regards Richard

Confirmed as Karrier
Hello Mike and Richard,
From information and photographs over on HMVF I can confirm this vehicle is Karrier. Steps now are being taken to recover as much as practical of the smaller loose components. Cheers Phill
