and yes - the hubs are missing the outer casings correct, as it's had spacers fitted on the axle stubs, look factory rather than 'bodged' at first glance to give the crawler a wider footprint for stability which might suggest a test set up rather than later agricultural improvement - largely based on the fact we can't find any other pics of mg2 crawlers with spacers used i have to say...anyway we'll bash on with the research and will eventually get to the bottom of it all 🙂

Only ID - Engine number TB6255, placing it somewhere between 1939-1940 production, and Magneto type is WICO776B which is right for the years, all other data plates remaining are not brass and have rusted out - stencilled across front bumper though 'max torpedo weight 2100lbs' ....plot thickens.

Could this be one of the original MG2 crawlers to have been tested? looks ot be a one coat original paintscheme with no other layers of paint visible under the od... ?

Hi All, soon taking delivery of my 1942 Ford GPW to accompany the Mk1 British 10cwt trailer I bought late last year - Jeep is completed and on the road, trailer needs (erhem) some tidying lets say...but it will soon be time for our adventure to Arnhem for the 70th Commemorations, a first for myself and two passengers. Looking to make notes from the useful tips i see on this board and mine your experience and knowledge - Looking forward to it!
