Just looking on ebay ,like you do and came across a jeep photo , period photo with two jeeps stood next to each other , checked on the dvla site and one of the a ford gpw is still taxed ,looks like it`s still on the road , further more i found a photo of the jeep now on the internet , would of been nice to match the jeep up with an original photo so do you know the owner of ...FORD GPW JKL225 . ???? i think it maybe in the north east

In a bit of a pickle ! is there anyone from "up North " going to Malvern next week ? I have an ammunition box coming over from Holland but I am unable to make it down to collect it myself.

Any help appreciated .

if you want to ring me i can sort it for you , my wifes taking my tyre stall down as i`m away working , but that would get it up to wetherby if that helps 07968381304

cheers john

another point i think on the trip as a whole , this type of trip can only be organized, run and attended by like minded people , they must leave there gripes and moans at home .spending a holiday in the rain sleeping in a damp tent ,no hot water unless you boil some ,smelling` living and eating in a field is not for everyone ...all that said it draws a common bond out in you with all the others ,and that what makes the trip right ....one happy family and the friendship grows from that , at trip with focus, friendship and fun , vehicles history what more could you want , thanks to all that went talking point of the year for me

Great clip

Surely 6 cylinders though??

Hall Scott 1090cu inch displacement

sorry meant 6 cylinder , would of been big pots with only four cylinders

Thought i`d list this under american vehicles so you could see the monster pacific dragon on the road ,

just a bit of spec so you get an idea of what the copeman brother have to deal with

with a crew of seven on jobs like this it`s all hands to the deck

total net weight 21.42 uk tons

gross uk tons 45.98

this beast has a turning radius of 46 feet

mpg average 2.2 mpg not going to complain now are you when you dipping into the low teens in a landrover

,total fuel capacities is 120 us gallons

only 270 horsepower from a massive inline 4 cylinder

max speed 28 miles per hour (this is the allowed speed ) don`t know what she`ll do down hill

BIG BIG RESPECT TO THE COPEMAN BROTHERS AND CREW FOR BRINGING THIS TO A&E

what a machine this was taken by son matt on the Armour and embarkation convoy on saturday ,he was crewing chris tills chaffee

what a better look ,it`ll be at the war and peace show

i do 900x16`s in 8 ply by speedway this is the bar grip pattern if you look at the photos above they are bottom to top in size order

i also do 900x16 in 16 ply by hurcules they have the heavier side wall and a bit better for larger vehicles

both have a flat bead edge and are ideal for US, British and Land Rover 101`s

cheers
