Hi Guys,
I see the Bren i was selling caused a bit on confusion, yes it was ordered as a Armoured M.G carrier in January 1938, this is all printed on the contract card from Bovington, but in June 1938 the wording "Armoured MG carrier" was crossed out and "Bren carrier " hand written over the top. It was later brought up to universal standard. The "T" number is T3851, i have now decided to finish the vehicle as i have funded one of my other projects by other means.

My Grandfather was in France in 1938/40 - North Africa - Holy lands - Madagascar-Italy and NW Europe all in carriers. i aim to have it assembled and on the road next year, the question is what colour scheame 1940 France or 1941 desert ?

Shaun
