Hi
Having owned and restored well over 20 classic cars, many with impressive bhp, it's time to consider my military vehicle fascination.
Ive just got make the brave step and sell my current classic to make room and funds available. It's a difficult decision as I've owned this car twice. A full bare metal restoration when I first had her when I was 19/20, then sold her for house deposit, then managed by pure chance to buy her back again on eBay 4 years ago! I've just given her respray and it looks as good as before. Over the last 5 years prices have risen x5 so I'm aware it will be a good keeper for investment but the car is no longer 'me' and I really fancy something millatrty.
First had a ride in a CCKW as a small boy back in the 80's on an old airfield where my grandma was a 8th bomb group member.........this is my goal.
Ive done flat4, N/A4, turbo 4, V6 and V8.
My dad had an old 6cyl Landrover when I was a boy and a few years back for someone I restored an Aston Martin DBS vantage also rebuilding the top end of the straight six.
I think (well apart from a merlin spitfire) a straight six is just the best sound ever and the CCKW ticks a very big box π
Looking foward to meeting members and getting into the hobby, hopefully make my purchase end of year or next.
