For 1 point, I need to know the make, model (2 parts), as well as the year.
It's not as easy as it looks.
Up.
mmm... Nodwell Terraflex?
No, but you're on the right path.
Foremost?
Canada is a part of the solution.
Nodwell?
No, sorry.
Track Industries?
I will try to guess it GO-TRACT GT220 around 1969
De Lorean = Logan?
QuoteTrack Industries?

Not those..

But it is a Go-Tract, well done. There is another company name I'm looking for, that is based in another country. And it's older than 1969, which is a clue. LOCKED for serra.
Sorry If I am confused but reading your quote I think it is locked for me not for ropat53 so I'll try to summarize what we have, the name of model brand, Go-Tract from Canada and now we need another company for which go-tract is a subsidiary and this is not in Canada Correct? Furthermore the model is prior to 1969 that is a clue to, the year you're looking for?
Sorry, my mistake, yes it should have been locked for you.
Your summary is correct, there is another company involved. Looking at the earlier models should provide the answer.
Dont worry, I knew it was locked for me your post was clear. On the other hand I thought It was easier find the company you are looking for because Go-Tract was a subsidiary of Rolls Royce Canada but as I can understand other tracked vehicule company was involved. I had not found much information about Go-tract yestarday but i will try to dig into.
Rolls Royce is the company name I was after. I think when Go-Tract started it was a subsidiary of RR UK, then RR Canada. These were sold as Rolls Royce Go-Tracts in Australia during 1968-69, so I thought that was their proper name. The year for this vehicle is 1968, which close enough to your answer. This particular machine had a 5 letter model name, and was the size down from the 220. If you can tell me that, that would be good. It's mentioned a couple of places on the internet, but is hard to find. I'll give you a couple of days, if you can't find it, I'll call it solved.
So far, 1968 Rolls Royce Go-Tract xxxxx xxx
I have seen that Go-tract started in 1964 and if my mind does not fail it was converted in 1968 RR subsidiary. I have seen a photo where apeared the front of a Go-Tract and can be read DEMON 200 maybe this is what you are looking for.
Perfect answer, a well deserved point. I'm not too clear on the Go-Tract history, and I'd like to know if they used RR engines, all I've found so far says that you could get a petrol or diesel, and one of them was 130hp.
This is where I got the photo from;
Thanks Craigh as you have said there is not much information about the Go-Tract history. I have seen some photos of Go-Tract for sale and old publicity but not much about the brand. This is some of I had found:
The company Started as Go-Tract limited 1964-10-06 to 1968-06-26 and then as subsidiary of ROLLS-ROYCE (CANADA) LIMITED. Loooking for relations with other track vehicles companies I discover that Erwin-Walter Siber was the inventor of most patens for the tracking system. I dont find anything about the engines but I dont believe this Go-Tract was Rolls Royce powered. And some photos
Serra, thank you for the photos, they are very good. The information I was using came from this 1967 article, written by the RR UK chairman. First column, 4th paragraph. As far as I can tell, the Rolls Royce - Go-Tract partnership ended in 1970.
