  1. The Red door handles were like that when I got the Tilly. I spoke to various people and was told that sometimes the door handles on forward opening doors were painted Red as a warning not to open whilst on the move. I expect people played with the handles and the doors flew open. So have left it as was. Does make sense. Hopefully catch up at a show...will be at War and Peace if it happens or another in the Kent area. Have a Great Christmas. Rgds Simon
  2. Hi. No I do not reenact. I have had MV's for 40 or so years and do may shows. I of course know all the guys in Malta who do with their Tilly and Bedfords. My Tilly was built and sent to Malta in 1940. I brought it back in 2020. So it had the original plates etc. It served with the Royal Malta Artillery and is shown in their colours. If you are a member of the MVT you will have seen a write up about it and its history in the last issue of Windscreen.
  3. I suggest you contact the Tilly Register. Michael Shackleton at tilly.register@gmail.com. They have records and produce a great magazine. Tenner a year.....worth every penny. Photo of my Tilly, ex Malta.
  4. I am sorry but I agree with others. This new foremat is not very user friendly. What was wrong with the old friendly foremat?
  5. Thanks for that. Much appreciated. I see "Big Tyres" have some with British type pattern in stock so will investigate. Best Wishes.

  10. Greetings from the Isle of Wight....
  11. The up front cost of putting on a show the size of War and Peace must eye watering. Cost of renting the site from the Hop Farm, Security, Fences, Insurances, Council and H&S permits and reports, Putting the site back to as was condition and clearing away the rubbish, Plus any other organisations with their hand out for cash. As the new owner has put his cash on the line it is right that he should get it back. As a businessman Vehicle Owners can not expect him to make a loss so we can have a show. However if Vehicle owners want to put on a show the size of War and Peace are they happy to spend their cash in large lumps before getting any back from exhibitors and the public? Putting on an Public event, Air Show, Vehicle Show etc is a risk that any businessmen have to weigh up. No one goes into a venture like this to make a loss...if they can help it. I think as vehicle owners we should applaud the new owner for taking over from Rex and taking a financial risk. How many other vehicle owners would have a go on this scale.
  12. Peters and May have just shipped a Matilda to the UK...ant ideas where it is going?
  13. I have seen them in WW2 to 50's MTB's that have been restored. Also very similar to Air Ministry units of the WW2 to mid 50's
  14. First Class restoration. Welcome to the "Military Bedford Drivers Club". Rgds Simon (MWR)
