Blown Carrier - Milweb

[Tim Bell]

Interesting challenge for someone here...

Would be great to know the history of the vehicle.

....one British Army carrier relic from the Battle of the Bulge battlefield area, nice static display historic exhibit. A good welder can even rebuilt the carrier to running condition. On request for sale an overhauled new old stock V8 petrol engine to install into the carrier....

Seems like quite a lot of work required for this project?

Has the supply of project carriers diminished so much that collectors are obliged start with "blown up" vehicles? (OK, there are some fantastic examples of range hard targets cut and spliced with kilometres of welding wire, and cubic metres of filler, but those are heavy armour.)

I don't believe it is a battlefield relic from the Bastogne area. Most likely an ex-firing range relic polished up with a nice story....

Looks like range target to me too, see white circle on side.
I would take it as spares but that's all.

guys
i think you are wrong about the ad, the seller clearly states it was a relic from the battle of the bulge and by the look of the damage it must have been in the thick of the fighting. a truly remarkable find and an easy resto for a good welder. I know all this to be true because my unicorn told me it was

If anyone in the whole war deserved medals, it was the guys in that carrier. They were getting hit from all sides.
