Thanks for the replies much appreciated senschu

Morning As a new person ( to 82s) I am trying to learn about the vehicle hence this forum From the experience and expertise here could you tell me perhaps as a top ten of things to identify a genuine wartime manufactured Kubelwagen. Such as identifying a wartime engine from post war Wartime chassis and floor as opposed to post war Beetle How to identify wartime bodywork from repro Dash board Axles Any help much appreciated as I look at adverts and very difficult to judge and 70/80,000 euros for a post war chassis,body and engine is pointless Thank you With photos if possi

I believe these to be authentic your thoughts please can studs be easily reaffixed?

Does anyone have an opinion who the best supplier of jeep tyres is in the UK nearest copy to original,made in UK? Good quality etc thank you

"...........so allied armour has either peaked price wise or this is just one auction result........of course if this had been a German tank eg Panzer IV it would have been gone at around 750k!

It is advertised on Milweb with three Sherman hulls all priced at 75-85k !! So a complete runner with provenance from the forties must be around 150k

It is definitely a runner I have seen it driven at Bovington and Duxford Military days at over 25+ mph!

Presumably if the reserve was bottom end of estimate then 100k ensured it wasn't sold

Can anyone clarify what the original spec,manufacturers,and sizing was for jeep tyres,and does anyone in the UK stock similar? Many thanks Senschu

Pete thank you senschu

Jumping in on this thread should a GPW have a synchro from second to first gear.I seem to have difficulties performing this without almost stopping

Dave thank you

Nick thank you

Pete my apologies yes repro senschu

I have viewed a number of Jeeps however I cannot tell if the Tubs are original (WW2) or post war replacements,is there anyway to tell the difference? Senschu
