Description (revised)
This is a WWII tracked "Bren Gun" carrier with its original Ford flathead V8 engine. The vehicle runs well and it was out climbing drifts from a snow fall last week.

The top armor was removed at some point, but the majority of mounting angle is still intact if you wish to add some back on. The vehicle has fresh paint and reupholstered seats. The headlights are in working condition as well as a dash light and radio.

There is a number stamped in the hull behind the driver’s seat: CB453. I am not sure if this a production number; if so, it is a very early one.

This is a great way to get a piece of WWII armor. It can be stored in an average size garage and towed with a regular truck. The dimensions for a Bren Gun Carrier (also known as a Universal Carrier or Scout Carrier) are 144” long, 81” wide, and 62.5” tall with a gross weight of 8,515 lbs. Each of the tracks has 166 links in it.

This is a used vehicle and is being sold as is. Must be picked up locally within 3 weeks of auction ending. A deposit of $500 due within 48 hours of auction ending. Full payment to be made by cash or cashiers check/money order within 14 days of auction ending. Vehicle is located in Stillman Valley, IL. Shipping quote available upon request.

Please note: I am not set up to perform export shipping from the U.S. We could transport the Carrier to the vicinity of the Baltimore, MD container port for about $1600-1800. But it would be up to you to have someone in the U.S. to take possession of it and take it through customs and ship it overseas.

Let me know if you have any questions. Happy bidding!
