Hi glushenko,

a very interesting pic! Thanks a lot for posting! But are You sure, that it is a captured British field artillery tractor "Morris-Commercial C 8"?

It could be the CMP FAT, a Canadian military vehicle manufactured by Ford and Chevrolet.
I can't see the difference in this photo.

Hi glushenko,

thank You for Your fast reply. Yes, I agree, that could be the Canadian field artillery tractor CGT (Chevrolet) or FGT (Ford).
Here a drawing of the "Morris-Commercial C 8" for comparing. The space between the rear axle and the superstructure is different.

Regards

Bert

Hello all,
This same photo was discussed in October 2018. The conclusion then, as now, was that it was a CMP FAT, either Ford or Chevrolet. As said then, the rear wheel-arches of the CMP were angled rather than rounded, as were those of the Guy "Quad Ant", which was discounted.
Cheers,
Kerry.

Hi Kerry,

thank You very much for remembering us to the discussion at that time. I totally forgot it. Sorry! My compliment for Your memory!

Best regards

Hi Max,
Sorry, not a Midget. Look at the bumper, it is the very exclusive SS, of Jaguar fame, quite possibly one of the legendary SS 100s. That was why it finally sold for 275 Euros!!
With best regards,
Kerry.

Hi Kerry,
Duh!! It has SS stamped right on the bumper ! No wonder I couldn't find an exact MG type match. That's what's called "tunnel vision".
Maybe it's an SS 1, the SS 100 rear wings look different in the pics I've seen:
