Austin 10 Light Utility Car “Tilly”

Austin 10 Light Utility Car “Tilly”

At the outbreak of World War II, the British Army was faced with a lack of light vehicles for communication, transport and general utility work.

The Ministry of Supply co-ordinated with the major British car manufacturers to produce military utility versions of their existing mid-size saloon cars. They were all officially classed as Car, Light Utility 4 x 2.

Austin 10 HP Series G/YG, based on the 1939 Austin 10 GRQ. The rear body was swapped for a simple pickup truck load bed covered by a canvas tilt, resulting in a two-seat cab with foldable seats in the rear.

The "Tilly" was used by all branches of the Services from 1940 onwards and although most were used within the UK, they also saw service in NW Europe and the Mediterranean theatres.

This 31-part kit has a full interior.
