Hi all,

our reenactors club bought a Hippo from the UK recently. Only a couple of weeks ago it arrived in our place in Czech Republic. It needs some working on but it runs so hopefuly it will be on the road again soon. We have started the restoration already.

On the second page of this thread I found a picture of the MK1 Hippo which seems to be very rare model. Does anybody know of any surviving example? Any more pictures of this type please? What are the differences from the MK2 apart from the open cab, different spare wheel holder and tanks?

Cheers Dusan

Hi all,

I am new to this forum. My name is Dusan Klavik and I live about 50 km North of Praque in Czech Republic. I have been into the green stuff for about 10 years or so,focusing mainly on the Czechoslovak Army forces from WWI till 1945. Three years ago I bought 1938 Standard Flying 12 which I am restoring as Staff Car of the Czechoslovak forces in Great Britain during WWII. I am looking at the end of the year to put it on the road. I also have lots of WWII British military stuff including complete mine detector MK III "Polish" and MKIVA. I am a member of a re-enactment group which takes part on most of the military events here in Czech Rep. We have many British WWII vehicles among our members.

Well thats for the introduction. Now I will be very busy going through all the interesting threads... :coffee: Great stuff !!!:wave:

best wishes, Dusan
