Need someone to take a pallet to Nelson BB6 and load an object around 90kg onto it. Then I will organize collection myself. If anyone can help, drop me a line. Thanks!

Sorted, thanks :-D

Withams have a 90 LHD NA diesel on their MODSALES website at the moment. They export landys so this could be possible.

Most of their other defenders are 110's but they are all tythonus victims so they are all in pretty good uprated nick.

Thanks Eric, but I'm looking for a RHD vehicle. No luck yet!

Champs are not common over here. Looking to scratch the MOD 90 itch, but no luck yet

Petrol, leaf spring ... already have my 1942 Willys MB for that!

Sadly although ex-MOD series Land Rovers are quite common here, 90s aren't. If anyone knows of one in good condition, I would like to hear from him.

Joseph

So - it seems that an unmolested drum braked rear axle TUL minta , is getting more desirable - the age or KISS factor ??

Both, and also the fact that it would be exempt from the annual road tax over here.

Any clues to where I can find a good example? Regards, Joseph.

Looking for an ex-MOD Land Rover 90 with original normally aspirated (or is it normally asphyxiated ) engine in good condition, preferably soft top. Must be 1987 or earlier.

Thanks,

Joseph

Thanks Wally, much appreciated. Regards, Joseph.

JOSEPH the details of the number will have come from a document refered to as the chilwell list chilwell was and is were military vehicle records are held this list contains details of the contract numbers and the vehicle numbers issued during the second world war IT is more than likely your jeep did serve in the middle east the batch of numbers were as said given to other makes of vehicles besides your jeep

Thank you, that is most interesting! Is there an online version of this Chilwell list so I may view it?

There will almost certainly be no details in the UK on this number. 4970101 - 4990100 are listed as 'Middle-East, Various Makes' which makes it almost impossible to pin down even a period.

Thanks for your replies. Which source describes this number range 4970101 - 4990100? Does it reliably indicate that M4985796 was operating in the Middle East?

Hello all, first post on this forum. I'm in Malta and currently restoring a Willys MB jeep which was used by the British Army, then sold to civilian ownership in 1947. The frame tag is missing but the hood number was M4985796. I know its a long shot, but are there any records which can shed more light on its history such as original frame number and army unit to which it was assigned? Regards, Joseph.

Hello, I'm Joseph from Malta. I've owned a Willys jeep for over ten years, dismantled and being rebuilt for the past two. Stable companions include a BSA M20 and a Matchless G3. Looking forward to spending more time reading on these boards!
