Heads Up: Carrier for sale in the US

[RichardT10829]

no connection to the seller, advertised as a 40 - 41 mk1* carrier it has the hole in the side armour for the Ronson (which I thought was a 43 thing)

Just for anyone in the US who is after one

This carrier was made in Canada at Windsor Ontario Ford, in what I was told by the original owner was 1940 or 1941. It is in good running shape and has the original engine and track. I believe I am the third owner of the vehicle since it was sold by the army. Of note on the left hand side next to the gunners compartment is a hole. It was original to the vehicle when the first owner purchased it. He left it as is, as it appears this carrier may have been one of the prototypes for the Ronson Wasp, with the flame gun mounted on the gunners side. For safety and esthetic reasons (I could never find a battery that looked correct) I have the battery wired to be located in the rear radio battery box, but the original battery floor mount and bracket are present and complete, and to run the cable back to it is very simple. Note great tracks that are not down to the last link.
Vehicle comes with many accessories, such as:
Original crank starter
A MK 19 set (not functioning/no internals), the power sending unit, along with multiple various appropriate head and handsets, two spare valve boxes, and a spare parts box
Original parts manual and copy of the operating manual
Spare track links & pins
Track adjustment tool (not sure if original or modern made)
Smoke cup discharger and firing mechanism (note the rifle action to fire it is not present)
Spare track link bag
Two vehicle inspection lights
Some tools but all modern made, in an original too bag
Three water jerry cans and a British war dated jerry can
One 1 gallon "flimsy" fuel can and reproduction oil can
Shovel and pick
Four wheel trailer for transport (Mfg. by Totem-All)
A reproduction Mk. 19 ration box
Three Pyrene fire extinguishers (one military marked)
Track Jack, not original.
What it doesn't have:
Gunners tool box, ration box, small pack box, Boys AT gun but stock rest, Mk19 radio mount plate, mudguards (these items are available in reproduction), jack block and proper jack

What needs work:
The gearbox will occasionally pop out of the reverse gear
The drivers rear view mirror (original included, the mirror needs a small repair to be able to mount it)
Lights worked, but stopped working last year
Speedometer used to work but needs to be fixed
Rear tail light needs the rubber round cover (an original one is included for use as a pattern, but the rubber is showing its age)

The carrier lives at a tank museum in El Monte CA (Los Angeles adjacent.) Perspective buyers are encouraged to inspect the vehicle prior to purchase. Please contact me to arrange a time and date for inspection. Note I painted the carrier a few years back, but have left the markings off so the buyer can paint whatever unit markings they want. Buyer is responsible for transport of the vehicle. More photos available upon request. $75.000 USD

Don't know if it's anyone from here ?

I bet it's the one Peter Simundson restored and was sold to someone in the US many years ago. The giveaway is the cut out for the flamethrower. It surfaces for sale every 10 years or so.

I'll bet you are right.

The left track does not look clever given the description regarding the tracks being good and not on their last links.

Still a nice carrier with lots of good bits on
