Hi All

Was a member here several years back and forgot my details!

Anyway i'm back and hope to contribute a little more than I have done in the past

Am a collector of British wartime till the 1960s and am starting to edge a bit into wartime US.

Am into my military vehicles with a Welbike, BSA M20 and Morris C9/B being the wartime ones

Cheers

Martyn

Hello & welcome back!

Ooh, a C9/B! That's something a bit special - you don't see many of those at reenactment or historic vehicle displays :) Does it still retain the Bofors on the back?

Yes pretty rare. It is unrestored and hope to start on it soon. Yes it came with a bofors that was once on a carriage but should fit directly on the back

Give me a big enough hammer and a place to stand and I could fix the world.
i'll kill a man in a fair fight or if i think he's going to start a fair fight or over a woman or.......
a problem shared is a problem halved ,but an advantage shared is no advantage at all
if a job's not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well

As you can see it needs a lot of work
