    you were good enough to find my jeep on an auction list, if you have the time sometime I have found another jeep owner with a jeep that also went to auction at same time. It was s/o 1-4-59 also through ruddington.

    12YJ09 is it possible to find out which day and what the batch made. thankyou in advance

    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.

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

    Gerry.

     

    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 .
  4. 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

  5. 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:.

  6. Hi Guys

    We on the British jeep Facebook page are trying to work out what on a keycard the abbreviation "C R" Before the s/o date means and we have come up with component recovery or cleared record as ideas. Can you guys please help. :undecided:

    Much appreciated.

  7. 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
