Gavin Bowman 0 Posted September 22 Hello, I have a Guy Ant Quad in original condition with genuine markings. Can anybody help with identifying the division that the Quad belonged to. Many thanks Gavin Bowman 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niels v 11 Posted September 22 Sadly I can’t help with the identification, but would it be possible for more pictures of it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I understand that the 76th is an armoured unit, within a division? Unfortunately the vehicle hasn't retained the divisional markings!! It only had the original pass plates in one of the lockers. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would think the Guy dates from early war period by its camo pattern that i recall when seeing it some years ago. The 76 could denote a Royal Horse Artillery Regiment attached to an armoured division up until 1942. I would speculate this vehicle was in UK only for training. Only saying this because of the paint scheme. Worth contacting the Royal Artillery Museum, which I think is now located at Larkhill. regards, Richard Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Niels v 11 Posted September 23 Thank you Gavin, It looks very lovely, almost a candidate for a conservation and not a restoration. Isnt it the ex Wheatcroft one? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

johann morris 15 Posted October 2 It looks like a lovely project. Personally I would restore it but as sympathetically as I could, trying to retain its originality but preserving it for another 70 odd years. Jon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
