Hillman Light Utility Car
What is your favourite military vehicle of all time?
In Britain, the lightest GS vehicles were classed as "Truck 5cwt 4x2 Light Utility", commonly known as Tillies, and were produced by Austin, Hillman, Morris and Standard, based on their individual 10 and 12hp pre-war passenger saloons. These vehicles lacked a reasonable cross-country performance and were largely replaced by the jeep in front-line units. Their light construction led to distortion of axles, chassis and suspension, and their low power-to-weight ratio led to excessive used of the gears, often causing gearbox failure.
