Default Universal Carrier Mk.2*

Hello everyone, I have owned a Universal CarrierMk.2* for about 28 years. It was owned by a well known film hire company before I bought it. One film I know that it was in was A Bridge Too Far.I suspect that it never saw any service. There is a plate under the Ford of Canada plate which tells that it was built Oct. 1944. I am now going to try and put some pictures of it on this page.

Glad you like it Ron. When I first took it out People were just as interested in the 80 watt charging set as in the carrier itself. If anyone would like some pictures of the charger I will take some and put them on. John
