Looks very much like a film prop QL, ...amazed to find a photo on the Internet movie cars database of my old QL used on a French film shot in London in 1970,

The large centre hub cap looks very much like Morris Commercial taxi wheels/axles https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Commercial_Cars#/media/File:1939_Morris_Super-Six_Taxicab.jpg

the above Bronco model kit is a Horch, not a Mercedes

It is a Military Mercedes Benz 320, 4x2, fitted with 6.50 x 20 truck wheels/tyres

The Hop Farm, showground site for the W&P show, which is still closed since lockdown has just ammended its events webpage and has Deleted All forthcoming outdoor events including W&P show, the first shows to be held there are planned for Oct/Nov 2020

Would think owners of petrol grey Fergusson tractors would be more interested, as its same engine as used in the early Vanguard

drops of clean yellow oil indicate gearbox/ transfer box oil leak, need to top up both units, with hypoid 90 gear oil, clean the whole unit off with a pressure wash, then drive for a while to get a more exact location of the leak

DVLA search shows 6640 ww 1942 Willys is currently taxed

The Show has been cancelled

further DVLA info. S157 FTA 1998 Black Diesel Supacat, the last uk road tax expired in 2007, Export marker, marked as Yes, presume exported in or after 2007, also it was civilian registered as new in 1998 which would mean it was probably a Supacat factory demonstration or test vehicle but it never entered military service

I have spoken to the W&P owners re. refunds,, Please scroll down to read my post at the end

I phoned the W&P Office a few days ago, suprising someone answered, even more of a surprise it was Anne Bertrand the Co-Owner of W&P revival show, we spoke at length and found Her charming and very helpfull. we discussed the possible show cancellation situation and She told me they are waiting for Government decision that if social distance restrictions need to continue into/beyond July then they would Not be allowed to open the show, they are Insured against such eventualities, but cast doubt if they would get fully compensated, but Ann Assured me Everyone who has paid Will be Refunded anyway....I even spoke to John Allinson too, so rather than speculate, just pick up the phone and speak to the show owners yourself, ..not many events you can ever do that to. --------------------------- ......The very successfull Capel Military Vehicle Show nr. Dorking Surrey July 5/6th has been Postponed untill September........

Rush Green motors is very well known,....but good luck in trying to ever buy any old stuff from them
