TM35209 Morris Bofors C9/B Late "The Iconic British WWII Gun Truck", 1/35
This development began in 1941 by the Morris-Commercial company. Morris was on of Britain's most famous motor companies, renowned for their cars.
The Morris C9/B is based on this tractor and was armed with the 40mm Boors Anti-Aircraft Gun. The British War Office liked the combination and placed an order, which was put into production in time for the D-Day operations of summer 1944.
The C8's chassis was lengthened slightly for this new variant. The engine and drive systems remained the same as the C8 base vehicle, retaining the 70 hp Morris EH, 4 cylinder 3.5 litre petrol engine mounted at the front. 1,680 vehicles were produced in total, and they served in both theatres, fighting the Germans in Europe, and the Japanese in the East.
