I have always preferred the mk1 over the mk2, just for the very British stowage. Seems like there is a place for everything, and if there is no place then it doesn't belong. Imagine making a specific holder just for a parts cleaning brush, or for the button coupler on the end of the grease gun. I also like the provision of a graduated stick for the fuel tank.

I always found the mk2 stowage much more bland.

Shaun you say there are more Mk1's in the UK now.... that is only because Kevin has brought them here go back two years you could not get any early carrier on our rock for love of money... i only hope Kevin stops saturating the UK with Mk'1s as it will bring the value down...bit like hyper inflation for carriers hahahahaha.

Lynn is right imho the ultimate of carriers starts with the bren.

and not to cause offence i feel it then goes in the following order

Bren
Scout
Loyd
Mk1
Mk2
Windsor
T16

i await flaming gents hehehehehe

this tied in with my tracked dream list

Mk1
Bren
Loyd
Vickers light tank
Stuart (early one)
Sturmgeshutz 3G
CVRT scimitar

Certainly in the UK the mnost common surviving model used to be the Canadian Mk11* but obviously others have been imported in more recent years.
