REG how many spokes and colour?

Chris I have sent u pm.
Dvla took 2 weeks once I sent the mvt letter in. Before sending your form phone them- very helpful- don't fill in boxes they don't require for historic vehicle.
My GMC was never registered elsewhere so I had that to deal with. My registration was dealt with June 2016.

Welcome.

Welcome mate ;-)

Like Pete Ashby I had previously sent payment to be told that the record could not be found. (25 pound fee I think!)
I would never have given this another thought.
thanks again.

We know other people who have also benefited from both the digitalisation of the records and Nicks drive to find records.
I am indebted to both Nick and Gregory for their help in our research.
Also to the owners for working with us to build our knowledge of contracts and wartime hood numbers.

Good work Nick.
Amazing the way it's starting to come together.

Maurice- that is a link to Vultures blog and his work- sorry I just shared the link.

off topic , Gerry , I can see in the list GMC tooltruck with winch , but to my knowledge they were never produced , just the open canvas version. the ones I have seen have a non strenghtened chassis , so must have been ordinary cargo trucks , Compressor trucks had again a different strengtenned chassis . -
Talk to owners, look at trucks- research models there are 6 marks from civilian to hardcab to soft cab- lots of differences. I purchased a 353 tipper before Xmas. I wanted soft cab winch and tipper.
Take a look here-

That's my guess too Pete. I know they were about spring 45 and I found a low rebuild no. On a early 43 mb. That is the lowest rebuild on the latest jeep. But I hope someone can confirm. Thanks for posting.

Does anyone know when and where the M15##### rebuild programme started. We now have a lot of M15 hood numbers and I know it was wartime But when exactly did it start.
Any help appreciated.

Hi Guys- a Further Question,
We on the Jeeps Rebuilt by British Army facebook group have worked together to share our keycards for research purposes. i know some of the members are also on here.
Our Question is- To those who have not seen their keycard, But have a brass Repair plate with either a YH or YJ registration on it for their jeep- Records are available- please contact us.
We now have key cards to provide approx 500 Jeep details and hope more people will be interested and also obtain and share their keycard details.
Regards
Gerry

Hi guys its been just under a month from paying (Paypal) since I joined MVT and although I had a response from there registration service ( In record time:D ) I was beginning to wonder when my magazine and membership number were likely to roll up ( could do with the membership number for there other service). I'm certainly not moaning just wondering what next months out house reading will be:nut:.
Jon
Jon, drop an email to the membership sec,andc attach payment email - i joined in jan and had a similar problem- i had confirmation email but they had a problem with notification by payment firm. sorted now

Might the date signify when it was recorded as being struck off the Chilwell Register?
I never thought about it in that light thanks Clive

Hi Guys

Nick are you aware of this little article that includes Jeep markings?
http://www.hmvf.co.uk/pdf/Airborne%20Markings.pdf
It is drawn from Airborne Directives issued by HQ 16 Independent Parachute Brigade Group
Thanks for putting the link to this Clive. Really interesting

As Martyn said welcome.
I can understand your move mate- i had a mk1 mexico for 26yrs and loved it but was time to move on- ok so as investment I should have keep it, but the military movement is more fun and "Friendly"- i don't regret the move. Oh and I have a GPW jeep and a GMC Tipper.

No arrivals/access to site after 8am any day.
so airport cafe breakfasts need to be finished early.
-
I had a chat with them. They are communicating via email and phone they said.
The public car parking will be in right hand field as we enter from road. behind where the booking in stall was first yr.
The no exit rule applies Sat afternoon until 6am Sunday.
I was told a roadway will be down so exit Sunday is easy.

You need to get a copy ofwarpaint by Duck Taylor I think vol.3 but check them out.
Also info is online.

I'm actually going to have a look at that one tomorrow as its not far from me. Certainly looks like an ex british army jeep but it also looks like it needs some work. Apparently it has a ford chassis, Willys engine, also has butler side lights typical of an army jeep.
Would sit nicely along side my other british jeep, although need to sell my ex-Norwegian one first....tbh I'm more interested in having a look as it seems to have a few British mods still on it. Will have feedback tomorrow.
Charlie- can you see if u can get any pictures please, if so can u post them on ww2 jeeps rebuilt by british army fb page
Thanks Gerry
