I've not long bought my jeep and I thought as this is local to me I'd book to go.

What was the problem you had with them?

Managed to get onto mapleleaf forum. Got some good info there. More than enough to make a reasonable conversion out of my sankey. chassis is about the right size, and although the towbar will look more like a Belgian trailer.

Strange how so few brits want a british trailer to go with their MV.

thanks for all the help guys.

Thanks for the replys. I don't seem to be able to access the mapleleaf forum for some reason.

I've recently bought a hotchkiss/willys jeep and want to show it as a british jeep and I want a trailer to go with it. I've looked around but cann't find one so in the mean time I thought I could adapt a Sankey Narrow trailer base I got of a fellow forum member and is now stripped down..

So any information as to where to find one, or pics/diagrams etc would be welcome.

Anyone know anywhere i can get info on 10cwt trailers in use by the british army in ww2?

Thanks 25pounder for posting those pics.

Nice jeep, what paints did you use?

I'll be going . Hope to chat to some of you there.

Hi,

I'm particularly interested in Camouflage markings . Mont'y's jeep ( shown in the wartime jeep in british service) show's what looks like a random 2 tone colour scheme, but I've also seen some others with " mickey mouse" pattern.

I'm looking to repaint my jeep in British colours. Anyone recommend a good book with colour photos or have original photos I could see?

Not that I noticed.. I never go there

Hi,

I'm Doug and I live near Cirencester in Gloucestershire. i've had an interested in military History and militaria for many years.

I started collecting bayonets ( now 200+), then the rifles ( Deac) to go with them, then I got onto bigger things and just bought myself a Hotchkiss jeep (1960).

Hope to learn , chat and make new freinds.

Will post again soon.

regards, Doug
