Hello

From time to time, it appears a wonderfull oldy to be sale mainly on a french web site "LE BON COIN". After a white 704 a MORRIS COMMERCIAL C8 is for sale. Following the information of the saler the truck is in good order. Nevertheless the original body has disapeared and a metallic roof has been added. For more informations see the address

C4 ?
 

Could be a C4 i think

Anyway , thats a nice truck :thup2:

HAnno, this may be your last chance to buy ..MIKE

Hi Mike,

I agree. The brush bar supports indicate C4, as do windscreens, also I note it has slinging rings on the front, which were introduced on most British vehicles around late 1943 onwards.

Serge, nice find! Are you going after it?

As pointed out by Mike & Richard, this is most likely a C4, not built in 1938 but sometime during the latter part of WW2.

Regards,
Hanno

The truck is very attractive but I have no more place to start a such restoration. The saler wish 4500 euros for the vehicle but I think that the price could be reduced

Regards Serge

Looks like a C4.
I trieed to get in contact.
If price changes down it's sertanaly a vehicle witch i will pick up.
Distance about 1000km. If it only would be for some spares.

None of the liks work.... shows as itme delisted/sold.

A C4 would look nice next to a cab 11
......just to show the ancestry of the cab 11.....

Bob

The MORRIS COMERCIAL displayed on the HMVF forum is the truck which was for sale in "le bon coin". I think that the truck has been sold and the new owner is locking for identification data.. Following his name , it's seem that the truck is always in FRANCE. To set the girl in it's original state I wish a good luck to the new owner.

Regards Serge

It's not surprising the links are dead since they were found in July..........

Guy

Guy,

Thanks for keeping us up to date on where this C4 went to.

Hanno

Good to see you on here Guy. :thup2: Ron

Morris C4
 

Looks like we have a litle trip to belgium to make a vissit and have a look. My C4 is still not compleet. :)

Hi Guy,

Good to see you here and very good news indeed for the Morris!
Look forward to seeing the rebuild as it progresses

Guy,

Congrats on the purchase. Good to see this Morris has found a good home. I hope it turns out just as nice as your QL!

Alex

Good news indeed.
 

Hello Guy,

Good to see you on here, look forward to watching your work, please keep us updated with progress. What body should it have on?

John

hi John, it used to be a wireless truck and fond some information that it might be a light warning truck (radar installation).
I will need to dig a bit deeper to find the right answer!
chassis number is 2202 c4 /wt3357.

Will be a good company for my Bedford QL and Triumph 3hw.

I've got chassis number 2280 C4/GS 9xx. Looks like you have a short weel base version of a C4.
Picture has been taken at the day off collection in the south off france.
Still happy with it, but still not ready to go.

So your looking for a body like this one.

I'm not sure but near museum delen (holland) has been one with box type rear body. Not sure what has happend with it.

The one in "Phantom" markings? I think it was sold to someone in Belgium (?), who started a restoration.

Alex

Yes it looks like the wireless body ! But rear body will drag a bit if you drive off!! Lol.

made it back home from Brittany France with the Morris, van full of bits and the C4 on the trailer.

Driving through Brittany ......and military vehicles....it doesn't get much better than that! :thup:

Guy, I noticed you found the thread on HMVF with the C4 Wireless in Belgium. I thought the thread was on MLU, but couldn't find it.
Any luck in contacting the owner? I think I have some pics of the truck from an event in Holland a few years ago.

Alex

Been trying to contact the owner off this wireless c4 but until today no luck! All wend a bit quiet on this project!!

Guy, I hope you can get a hold of him. What are the odds....two C4 Wireless House types in Belgium!
Attached are a few pics of the other Belgian C4....taken a few years ago in Overloon.
