has been developed by Carter Engineering Co. (Tamworth) Ltd. and the first is soon to be put into service by A. and C. McLennan (Perth) Ltd. This is based on a Commer Avenger chassis, a passenger model being necessary because the controls are suitably offset to allow one car to be carried alongside a narrow driver's cab. There is 5 ft. 8 in. space between the cab and the side framework.
It is planned to build similar six-car transporters on other makes of chassis. One of the first will be a Leyland Leopard with similar support structure adaptable to Leyland Tiger Cub, A.E.C. Reliance and an Atkinson passenger chassis. These versions will have a special tandem twoman cab designed by Carter and will be able to operate with a six-car trailer Carveyor to make a 12-car carrying outfit.
