Rick W Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Starting the thread again as it appears to have disappeared during "Black Sunday". Post away any pics of wartime Morris Commercial and its variants. Couple of nice colour shots of CS8- Ostfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
woa2 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Errr... I think the negetive is the wrong way round on the first photo. Interesting photos, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
79x100 Posted May 18, 2008 Share Posted May 18, 2008 I've posted this photo in various places before but not here, I think. The start of this thread seems a suitable place for it. This is a wartime picture of one of the original 1935 Mk1 15 cwts with the Clayton Still radiator before the bonnet line was altered.

Rick W Posted May 22, 2008 Author Share Posted May 22, 2008 Im sure the first pic is off a website, cant for the life of me remember which one, but it has pics of the Morris armoured car as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Reposting these, cant remember the source. Sporting a PAK on the rear CDSW with crane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted May 23, 2008 Author Share Posted May 23, 2008 Looking at the one pic with the Pak on the back, Im not sure that is a Morris. The back tub looks very like an MW, but the front of the vehicle doesnt, any suggestions please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Degsy Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think it might be a Guy Ant Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Farrant Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 I think it might be a Guy Ant or one of those early Morris Commercials with the low level radiator :undecided: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted June 6, 2008 Author Share Posted June 6, 2008 And more. The first is obviously a FFW what is the gantry type contraption on the fron of the vehicle for? Secondly, are there any figures or numbers of the amount of CS8s lost at Dunkirk? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted June 16, 2008 Author Share Posted June 16, 2008 I have just discovered the IWM's database, and have spent most of the day online searching for info and pics, its great. More pics with some strange experimental things going on.... 2nd Corps at Cherbourg. Morris Commercial D-Type fitted with 8 wheels. Another D-Type, this variant a staff car, I do believe these were actually issued. D-Type GS D-Type FFW with C Set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Somewhere in there, or maybe it was the Tank museum's photo? Is a Morris fitted as a DF truck. Wooden body with horizontal attena fore and aft. Any idea on dates of those vehicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony B Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Did , it is a Tank museum photo. The librarian down there did say I could post photo, as long as they are acknowledged, so I'll try to find it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
