New Carrier Owner

[Manfred Müllner]

Hi all!

For several years I read this forum.
Now I am also owner of a carrier, since two days it is in my garage.

Special greetings to Marc, he took me in his carrier two years ago in Beltring.
This is the result now.
Then I would like to send greetings to Nigel and thanks for the wonderful books.
Finally, I thank Martyn for the interesting conversation that we had in Beltring concerning carriers.

Maybe some of you know my new vehicle.
It is from the Memorial Military Museum of Campbellford.
The last owner of the Carrier was Harold Carlaw.
After his death his son has now sold the carrier.
I promised to take care of it.

In a first step, I would like to explore the history of the vehicle, all the numbers, the year of manufacture and the specific type.
Although I have read all three books by Nigel several times, but I think I will need help.

After that, I would like to see what parts are missing and where is the line between original and replica.
The armor plates in the front of the carrier were copied and are not original.
For this reason, the most important number is missing.
Unfortunately the data plate in the rear of the driver is also missing.

The carrier has not been driven for several years.
I need to see whether the machine is running, check the brakes and make a new electrical system.
This is a lot of work.
Currently I have -8° C in the storage area of the carrier and I will have to wait for a few weeks.
