Without a some original markings on the vehicle you are reduced to trying to find your registration number in a photograph.

Hallo Paul,
Like Neil said, if you cannot find unit markings on the Loyd, all you can hope for is someone found T-136474 in a unit diary or vehicle listing somewhere. There are some people collection this sort of information, I think they spend more time and money on this aspect of the hobby than many vehicle restorers do on a vehicle restoration. Met vriendelijke groet, Hanno

i thought whilst looking at the chassis it looked remarkably like a truck bed. in comparison to the Unversal carrier i would guess these must have been some what lighter ? i really love these things and after my Mk1* is complete i will probably go for one of these or perhaps a T16/Windsor.

Loyd Carrier

Looks to be a nice easy restoration there. It appears to be quite complete, is all the steering there? I will be watching this restoration very closely. Good luck with it mate!!!!

He Paul,
zo te zien ben je eindelijk aan de klus begonnen. Ik ben benieuwd hoe de restauratie zal gaan verlopen en wat het uiteindelijke resultaat zal zijn. Ik zal het in ieder geval met interesse volgen. Ga je de hele restauratie/foto's op het forum weergeven? Succes en als je nog vragen hebt dan weet je me te vinden. mvg, Roland

Hi Paul,
One of your questions to me was, who was the maker of our Loyd Carrier. Bart Vanderveen told me in 5/2/97, the following notes: Loyd Carrier WO-No. T240838 was one of the 6510 Carriers with Contract No. M6619, Ford Motor Co, 13/3/43. ID (brass) plate in the Loyd: Carrier.Tracked, Towing, No. I W.D. No. T240838 Your Loyd Carrier look like different Paul, maybe you're right: possible an other Factory. Good luck with the restoring, Dirk P.S. Thanks Alex, for the pictures !
