Nice find, will you finish the jeep in these markings?
yes markings will be re applied. The jeep is painted in bronze green and the engine bay in duck egg blue. These are the colours found on the jeep during restoration. John.

This is one of the invoices from metamet dated 12 2 65 showing that the owner had an exchange engine. John.I have no idea what that means either. You could try a hosting site like photo bucket or similar.being a late production ford, and having seen little use (at least time wise), did it/does it still have its original engine and drive train?

I have tried to add more pictures to this site but I keep getting the message clear list, have no idea what this means, help, John.

Looks like an ex British jeep. What year? Good project, how are/were the floors?
IN March of 2001 I wrote to Wally Duggan at the Museum of Army Transport and the info. he supplied is as follows, M no. M5845220, post WWII 53 YH 35 sold out of service at Bicester auctions 15 Oct. 1957, lot 850. Jeep manufactured January 1945 as soon as I can get my wife to take the pictures from the album and put them into the computer I can bore you to death with restoration pics. The person I bought the jeep from also had a comprehensive collection of bills from ,1963 onwards. These may be of interest because of the prices charged by the various suppliers, Metamet, Tillies of Dorchester, Swaffield tyre service of Bristol, Universal Car Distributors (London) Ltd. Metcalfe"s of Leyburn
a lso early test certificates.
John.

I have a couple of these 80 watt charging sets and will take some pics. tomorrow and the dimensions that you ask for. John.Hi,Does anybody know how the 80 watt charging set was secured in the back of Airborne radio Jeeps? The designated area of the back floor isn't very flat, so trying to work out if it was just secured with footman loops, or if a purpose built frame was made as per the WS22 remote control unit etc.
Also, does anybody have he dimensions of the charging set exhaust muffler?
Any help greatly appreciated.
