Production started two months before the Bedford QL so in 1941. Approximately 3,000 were produced.

It was basically a version of the Karrier KT4 four-wheel-drive gun tractor.

Fascinating picture , few of these produced but they had good winches fitted so they were very useful as recovery vehicles. The winch can be seen at the rear of chassis in pic.
