The Carrier

Several of the WWII military vehicles have won awards at vintage rallies and events nationwide. The highlight is perhaps the 1944 Universal (Bren gun) Carrier with a Ford V8 engine. This incredibly rare vehicle was acquired in its original box ready to be shipped from Canada. It is to be sold complete with its original type transporter trailer and a genuine 290 miles on the clock! Also of particular note is the 1952 Scammell Explorer recovery truck fitted with a modern 14l Cummings 250 engine. The buyer will also get all the original tools and hand books included within the sale of both vehicles.
