Hi All, fascinating to find this forum and the various posts/photographs of what I know as "The Blackpool Jeeps".
As a Midlands lad day coach trips to Blackpool were an annual occurrence (either in summer or later for the illuminations) and I remember these vehicles from the mid-1970's until they finally disappeared in the early 1990's.
I was always intrigued by them and even as a youngster (born 1973) I knew they were old and probably ex-military.
I have a few photographs taken in 1991/1992 which I will dig out of my loft if there is any interest although by that time they were sad relics under rotting tarpaulins.
I actually inquired about them at the Life Boat station in 2018 however none of staff knew what I was talking about!
