MORRIS-COMMERCIAL C8
FIELD ARTILLERY TRACTOR
Introduced in 1939, and remaining in production throughout WW2, around 10,000 examples were constructed
of the Morris-Commercial C8 field artillery tractor (FAT). Most had the curiously angular, beetle-backed body
but late examples of the Mk III were fitted with a square-backed, canvas-topped ‘number 5’ body, with four
access doors and a drop-down tailboard.
The vehicle was powered by a Morris EH four-cylinder engine, producing 70bhp from 3519cc, driving all
four wheels through a five-speed gearbox and single-speed transfer case; both the Mk I and Mk II variants
featured permanent all-wheel drive, but the front-wheel drive could be disconnected on the Mk III.
Total production of the Mk III amounted to more than 6000 vehicles, of which some 1500 had the ‘number 5’
body. This example, coupled to the correct 25-pounder field gun and ammunition limber, was photographed
at Firepower, at the Royal Artillery Museum, in 2006.
