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.
