No , there is tax on this fuel , it is even slightly more expensive, then 95  E10

over here I can , every airfield with small single propeller aircrafts sells it .

There is a solution for this , if you Buy AFGAS  Aviation gasoline . This is still the old spec fuel , and can also stay a lot longer in your parked up vehicle without degrading so fast .

Victory toys where supposed to be located near Maastricht .

When I restored my No 11 cab Chevrolet , I found that the inside off the body , and cab always stayed olive drab through its life , even in civy use , the outside had under the civy color a brown black camo applied (wheel arches , and underside where also not resprayed )., so that is how I restored her , but I got during the years the odd remark , and did you not have enough Brown paint ? What can you answer then .

Yes I have 2 dingo tyres you could have , they have only done a few miles .

they where obsolete by then

Do you still need the angle irons for the sprockets ? I found a CATI axle not far from Elsenborn .

Jeremy they are 2  1/8 inch high inside 

this is an original bow for my MWG

will do

Jeremy , the  brackets for the tubes should be U shaped , they go over the sideboards on both sides , and are welded to the bows , a bit enological , because on the bottom of the bows they are in the rounded brackets , and dan come a bit outwards because of the thickness of the U shaped holders , these prevent as well that the bows wiggle for an backwards , the U`s are locked in place with the rectangular blocks which are bolted to the body .

Danny on the Early drop side bodies , there are no top tubes fitted , just the 3 bows like Jeremy has made them .

this is opening a can of worms , there are events in the Netherlands for all era veterans , with up till now vehicles allowed , but Market Garden is about remembering September 1944 . M201 Hotchkiss discussion is another one , but what about Phillipine bodied jeeps and chassis which are replaced ?  GMC`s with post war made Bodies from Germany … so a difficult discussion , but they want vehicles which look correct for  1944

mtskull, I am from abroad , but can tell you that we had to go to MOT  every year with our pre 1950 vehicles , it was troublesome , because none of the MOT stations had a clue about the regulations of the older vehicles , 4x4 vehicles could not even do the brake test , so there where loads of complaints from well maintained vehicle owners , and finally the 40 + year old vehicles are exempt , I have not yet come across one unserviceable vehicle at rallies.

They are British , and have when new a date casted in to them , Adrian is right , the folded ones are all post war dated , there was a welded box version as well , these are ww2 as well 

Looks to me as aWW2 version , because it has fuel filler on top of the bonnet , the post war ones had the fuel tank under the seat .

Single rear wheel ones where made with rear suspension , and without for warehouse use 

WW 2 1 ton trailers also stayed in use till the 90ies in the Dutch army 

they are ex Dutch army bowsers , still used up to the 80ies

Guy , have a look at the difference between your rims and the MWC one ,yours has the tire valve on the right of the wheel nut , the MWC has it on the left , and has 2 longer studs . The longer studded ones are Canadian , and are not exactly the same as British ones , can`t mix the rims .

It has a Dutch registration , and the sign behind it is also in Dutch , so selling it from the UK is doubtfull.

Continental C1 Radial engine for Sherman Priest , Sexton etc.

Thanks for the pictures , de handle with the 2 screws looks like it was made by the local black smith , is it cast , or pressed sheet metal ?

Another Question ,in one of Ron`s pictures there is an inner door handle , are they still somewhere available ?

Is there a way to tell the date off manufacture for an Autocar pontoon tractor ? A friend needs this for registering his truck .

Thanks already .
