Degsy Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 A very comprehensive manual covering all aspects of maintenance and repair complete with a service chart contained in a pocket on the back cover. It also contains a list of all 500 chassis no's and the War Office contract. This is an original 1941 dated Manufacturer's manual and is in good condition for it's age only suffering from some minor rust staining due to the use of staples in it's manufacture.

Runflat Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Out of interest, to which contract does this relate - 294/V/3787 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Out of interest, to which contract does this relate - 294/V/3787 ? I believe this contract was for the Karrier 'Spider' 4x4, not the K6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Runflat Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Interesting but how so, Richard? The Chilwell list shows this as being the contract for the 500 units L4493120-L4493619 - chassis numbers 61A5000 to 61A5499 I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 (edited) Interesting but how so, Richard? The Chilwell list shows this as being the contract for the 500 units L4493120-L4493619 - chassis numbers 61A5000 to 61A5499 I understand. This is from a list of all Rootes wartime contracts (copy of company records). Details shown; for War Office / Code 209 / Qty. 500 / Karrier 'SPIDER' F.W.D. / Enquiry received 23-3-40/ Cont. 294/V/3787 / Date of contract; 16-6-41 There is a further entry for one vehicle under this contract number, Code 220 / Karrier Four-wheel drive/ with the words 'to be brought thro' as first machine to V3787 (WO Code 209). Looks like the company may have referred to FWD vehicles as Spider for several years before they listed them as K6 Edited July 11, 2017 by Richard Farrant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
