| THE
FORD OF CANADA Universal, or 'Bren Gun'
Carrier, was manufactured throughout the war to the tune of some 28,988,
in Windsor, Ontario. It was an adaptation of the British Universal, which
itself was derived from the earlier Carden-Lloyd carrier. |
| It
was produced in two basic versions, the Mk.I* and Mk.II*, but there are
only minor variations between them. These variations include style of handrail
around the crew compartment, minor differences in armour arrangement, the
fender skirts, stowage, and towing capabilities. More details may be seen
below. |
| The
galleries below will show some good examples of different Universal Carriers,
most restored and running vehicles. Upcoming shortly will be comprehensive
specifications, stowage diagrams and other UC paraphenalia. Please don't
