Hello,

To introduce myself, I live in Sussex, ponce about with various old motor vehicles.

I have raced classic saloons and trialled a kit car and a 1929 Austin 7.

On the military side, I have assisted in the restoration of two Bedfords, a MW and an OY and attended the 50th anniversary celebrations with a group of us in these - it was superb.

I have also been to Bovvy a few times to play in the mud.

I have left it rather late, but hope to find a vehicle to attend this year. Ideally a Weapons Carrier, jeeps have become silly money, but anything weapons carrier down, even a military motorcycle of the correct period may be of interest - so please let me know of anything that may be suitable.

Thank you

Jules

UPDATE: I have now been lent the MW that I helped restore to take to Normandy - I now have some fettling and MOT to do.

This is probably a very good thing as everything seems to have doubled in price in the last 6 months - and I assume it will fall by the same in the next 6.

Hello,

I am taking a Bedford MW over for the D-day celebrations this year.

I have not been since the 50th Anniversary year - which was fantastic - so cannot remember what's what.

Any suggestions on accommodation, be it camp sites, Chambre-dotes etc gratefully recieved.

Thank you

Jules

Hello,

Does anybody know of a WC51 or 52 for sale?

One that works.

While I am here - what are the MOT rules on a WC51/52?

Are they treated as a lorry or a car?

Thank you

Jules
