Thank you…. It does look very similar I will keep digging

Spotted this trailer on Ebay does anyone know what it was used for? or where it was used? Or was it a gun trailer? Any pictures or info would be much appreciated.

Hello, Got the rad together and back in unfortunately the core has several minor leaks, opted to put two tubs of radweld in, which for now, has done a job. I will need to recore the rad this winter. A big thank you to all of you who have provided me with parts and information.

Hello, Made a bypass hose for the Karrier got the breaks indicators and working and the engine running - just need a Rad and we will be mobile! Anybody know where to get a Rotor arm and distributor cap from?

If you would like a set then please let me know as the more that I have done the cheaper they will .

Hello, I have acquired a Chance Light Floodlight fitted to a Brockhouse 4 wheel trailer. The original engine has been removed and replaced with a single cylinder Lister Diesel, most of the wring is missing or has burned away. It is my intention to restore it to its original condition, does anyone have any information? Operator manual, wiring diagrams photographs etc.? Also what engine was originally fitted? Thanks in advance Will

Hello, Done some more work on the 8 today, body requires 2 days welding and then should be finished! Best Regards Will

Dear all, Been working on the Munga today, the hatchet has arrived and been fitted along with the winch handle and the Jerry Can. Anyone else making progress? Will

Scott, If you think that yours is bad take a look at these photos of my Munga from 2006! Will

Well done!!! – I have just sent you a message on ebay!...... I have 2 Munga 8 and they are both in similar condition, I am rebuilding one and have had to replace both front wings and part of the upper fender, approximately ¼ of the area around the instrument cluster all of the floor pan, forward and rearward of the seat box, fit a new seat box, both left and right sills, a new rear floor pan in the load area, most of the rear cross member, and forward rear cross member, and rear tail gate, just leaving the 2 rear wings to sort out, then rebuild it – hope to get most of it done this winter that will 8 years start to finish!? There are now quite a few panels on Ebay, they come and go so you need to keep your eye out, and if you want it don’t muck about. Most of the mechanical parts are available from Kemper parts, or from a guy called Richard Nixon from Ipswich. They are great little vehicles but nothing like working on say a Jeep where you can get most of the parts off the shelf. If you want to take a look at mine you are most welcome.

Hello, Cut the last rot from the rear RH wing this weekend. Will

Dear all Muga Fans, On Wednesday 17th November CH4 is showing a 1981 WWII thriller “Eye of the Needle” at 12:50 staring Donald Sutherland. In the film you will see a heavily modified Munga – obviously way out of time context. Its quite a good film and worth a look despite the historical inaccuracy. Will

Private MW.... I will have an 8 seater for sale once I have completed mine (Hopefully late next year) Make me an offer? Will

Hello, Have you all seen the Munga 8 on ebay? Anybody going to Malvern tomorrow? Will

Hello, As the clocks have now gone back I have started work on the Munga again...... We have removed the rot from the RHS (where the spare wheel locates) I have checked my rolling chassis, sorry it does not have any belly plates. Will

John, I am sure I have all the parts you need - If I don't Richard Nixon will have. Regards Will

Hello, I have a spare rolling chassis if anyone needs any bits? Regards Will

Hello, Thanks for the info – I have read about Pete Gaine, Looks like he is the best source of Bedford parts? Did I read somewhere that he does a lot of work for the film industry? Thanks Will

Hello, I will be looking for an OXC with tanker myself in a year or so (when I have finished my current project). During wwII my farther tells the story of a OXC with tanker that crashed through his farmhouse, although only 8ish at the time he can recall the incident very well. I have been unable to find any pictures or press information about the accident. The tanker was on route from Kimbolton Airfield and the driver fell asleep. Although a large part of the farmhouse was destroyed and the “driver was covered in blood” he was basically ok and walked away. The OXC smashed completely through the lower story leaving my father’s bedroom supported by the cab. If anyone has any pictures of an OXC at Kimbolton or can give me any further information I would be most grateful. Will
