Guy,

Congrats on the purchase. Good to see this Morris has found a good home. I hope it turns out just as nice as your QL!

Alex

hi John, it used to be a wireless truck and fond some information that it might be a light warning truck (radar installation).
I will need to dig a bit deeper to find the right answer!
chassis number is 2202 c4 /wt3357.

Will be a good company for my Bedford QL and Triumph 3hw.

I've got chassis number 2280 C4/GS 9xx. Looks like you have a short weel base version of a C4.
Picture has been taken at the day off collection in the south off france.
Still happy with it, but still not ready to go.

The one in "Phantom" markings? I think it was sold to someone in Belgium (?), who started a restoration.
