Diamond in the rough

[David Dunlop]

John. What a beautiful Machine! Reminds me of what mine had looked like when found.

Not sure if your data plates are still on the vehicle but thought I would pass along the information from the carrier I owned a while back that was built 22 June 1944:

Model: Universal Carrier No. 2 Mk II*
Serial Number: 27219
Upper Hull No.: 25648
CB Number: CB25648
Lower Hull No.: 25658
Engine Number: TL-28513-F
Contract: CD 2609
WD Number: CT268319
CAR Number: 84-058

Take the CAR Number with a little grain of salt. My carrier had started out as a Welsh Guards Stowage model. but post war was converted to an 81mm Mortar Carrier. The CAR Number 'might' have been changed at the time of that conversion.

Have fun with the restoration.
