Production started two months before the Bedford QL so in 1941. Approximately 3,000 were produced. It was basically a version of the Karrier KT4 four-wheel-drive gun tractor. http://hmvf.co.uk/forumvb/archive/index.php/t-39474.html -- Last edit: 2015-10-01 12:59:16 |

Fascinating picture , few of these produced but they had good winches fitted so they were very useful as recovery vehicles. The winch can be seen at the rear of chassis in pic. -- Last edit: 2015-10-02 07:38:27 |
