Morris C8 Quad

[Auke]

Hello, There is a Morris Quad gun tractor for sale in the Netherlands. It is a '44 C8 Mark3 with the square No.5 body.
The vehicle is in unrestored condition but very complete except for the upper rear hatch. The front part of the original canvas top is also there (in bad shape). There is a complete new engine gasket set with the vehicle. Pricing in the 3500 UKP range.
please contact me off list, I have pictures. Regards, Auke
