Carrier "RestoMod" in Oklahoma

[rossbart]

Well, I am the guy that bought this carrier. I am excited to go pick it up and hope to this weekend. However, I am a complete newcomer to the universal carrier. This one appears to be in good mechanical condition and the tracks in good shape but, to be honest, I have not yet seen it in person. However, as the carrier family seems to be a fairly close one, I am not going to be surprised if you guys can't tell me quite a bit about this particular one and I am hopeful that you will.

Can anybody give me any insight or knowledge as to the history, ownership, restoration thus far, condition, etc. of this little carrier. For that matter - even what it is exactly. I think it is a Mk I? Universal or Bren?

I have ordered some reference and service books (just ordered Nigel's Universal Carrier Books) and am sure that these will help but for now I'm just trying to figure out what I have.

Any help to the new guy will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ross
