British Light Utility Car - Finished Model 10HP Camouflage
British
forces used passenger car chassis, during WWII, as the basis for
pick-up style military vehicles. Officially called "Light Utility Car"
soldiers called them affectionately by the nickname "Tilly". The vehicle
was equipped with a 30hp engine and rear wheel-drive. However, the car
did not have sufficient off-road abilities and was soon replaced by 4WD
vehicles. As a result, the "Tilly" was used in airbases for liaisons
and in other paved areas. The vehicle served in the Dunkirk evacuation,
North African and Italian fronts, and Europe from the Normandy invasion
on.
