MCC began its association with the 6X4 in 1926 with the D model . The company continued building 6X4 vehicles through the 1920's and 30's with a new model released in 1933, the CD . By the late 30's the CDSW was on issue to British army units . During WW2, these trucks were actually built by Morris' main peacetime competitor Austin (6686 units) between 1940-44 and the Nuffield owned Wolseley plant (almost 6000) between 1939-42. Early examples of the CDSW were used as artillery tractors , but the bulk of them were built as either - LAA tractors , or LAD breakdown trucks ( pictured below ) . A 4 ton power winch was fitted. Only a handfull of CD 6X4 models survive , most are in the U.K. At least one example survives in New Zealand . |
