Sounds like common sense is getting in the way there... :n00b:

Front view

Can you tell me more of the Volvo, Ive never seen anything like it?

Finland.

Got a good project there to start with, I found everything came undone on the morris, including the brakes, as you have found, without the need to resort to the flaming torch! It will be interesting to see how it progresses. :tup:

Yes, confused about 1, but can ask for another pic, I thought the second looked a bit Beetle-ish, and agree with the Gaz.

This question has probably been asked before, (what we could do with is a FAQ on this subject!), supposing i wanted to import several vehicles from a scandinavian country, say by a container, 5 or 6 vehicles at a time, how would I go about it? Has anyone here had any dealings with importing and if so what company did you use, or did you go via an agent? How much would it be to container from Scandy. Any info welcome. :?

What are these then? Located in a scrapyard, not a million miles away , but certainly not local! Number2 Number 3 Answers on a postcard

I'll second that, happy birthday ;-)

I like that. It would be even better if we could actually see something else other than rain clouds. Still could be worse, could be at Glastonbury! :-D

Im sure when i die my headstone will start www. ! A nice site for a rainy afternoon. http://www.ww2incolor.com/

Luke.......I am your father........ After consulting Mr Askews guide, it looks like an M38A1 MD which started production in 1952, hence the curving mudguards which confused me.(Im not too well up on my jeeps yet!). Iwill pursue it and keep you posted. Unfortunately not a rare jeep prototype. Probably worth about £500 in its present form!

Mystery solved, its an M38A1 http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/rik242_2006/M38A1Front400.jpg[/img] This is the battery tray cover thing which caught my eye http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o72/rik242_2006/CheneyM38A1Battery400.jpg[/img] Gonna go see if I can get me a yank next week i reckon! ( Yes love, of course we need it, its an investment for our daughters future.....another glass of wine dear?)

If you mean the Burma jeep, then no, nothing like. The front mudguard doesnt protrude forward like that, they more follow the line of the wheel.

Dont get too excitied, but one of my work colleagues suggested there might be something resembling a jeep/champ sticking out of a hedge at the local yokel landrover breaker/workshops. I popped over there today to have an inconspicuous nose round pretending to be on the lookout for landy bits and saw its nose poking out of some long grass. Definitely not a Willys or GPW. I'll try and describe it as best as I can, but havent taken any photos of it as, a)I dont know if its for sale, but it cartainly hasnt been driven for many years, b) if it is up for grabs and the farmer bloke isnt too bothered by it I may have found a right bargain and dont want to crawl over it taking photos! I plan to go over there again on Tuesday to see if he's interested in parting with it, if he is I'll post some photos. Here goes then. Its slightly bigger than GPW size, i would say more champ size, but it definitely isnt a champ.The front mudguards curve slightly over the tyre, similar to a Gipsy, but having looked at a couple of photos on the internet I dont think it is. Indicators and sidelights with a blackout cover are mounted on mudguards. Front grille is flat with vertical slats, and is flat faced with no overhang from the bonnet.I couldnt see if it was right or left hand drive as it had a big mucky tarpaulin shoved in it, but it did have the plates for 4wd instruction on the right hand of the dash. Most conspicuously I thought, the bonnet didnt go right up to the windshield, it stopped short by about 8or 9 inches. On the right hand side of the panel between the windshield and bonnet was an access panel which lifted off and seemed to give access to the battery. Any ideas?? :?

Another web place from the same people, some of you may have seen it as it was a project that finished last year, documenting all the anti invasion defences across Britain. I'll post a pic of our local pill-box down the high street when I remember! ;-) http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/specColl/dob/index.cfm

All you need now is a metal detector and a spare afternoon! :whistle:

http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/adsdata/armycamp_eh_2006/ahds/dissemination/csv/Stage_2/APPENDIX_1_-_SURVIVAL_SPREADSHEET.csv Does that work- more direct to the table?

Go to the link and click on it, you will come up with ADS home page. Go to bottom and click I agree. You should then find yourself on the overview page for that report. Scroll to bottom and click on Stage 2 (in red). You should then find yourself with several options in boxes, just click on the relevant one.

A useful online resource for finding out about army camps in your area from the archaeology data Service. Listed by county, it gives NGR's for WW1 army camps, but a large part of it is WW2 army camps, including D-Day Marshalling camps, Overlord camps, US army camps etc, well worth a look! http://ads.ahds.ac.uk/catalogue/archive/armycamp_eh_2006/overview.cfm

Get well soon John ;-)

Thanks Andy, found it and ordered it!

Get some pics up! ;-)

Whats the details of that book Andy, and contact details of seller?

As always, question answered, thanks Clive! ;-)
