DUKW Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hello Rick, Yes, there is a dukw in Berlin. Put an offer on it. Should still be up on Milweb. I put the ad there, but no longer work there. I suggest 15k. If you are interested, I will send you the contacts and you can deal with them directly.

Rick W Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hi John, Considered it a few years ago, there were a couple up for sale on Milweb in the UK. But after visiting Bovington and seeing just how big the beasties actually were, I put them firmly on the back boiler on the list of things to do!:sweat: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark m uk Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Hello, John ( Quackhead ) Furlong. Proud member of the Irish Military Vehicles Group www.imvg.org Restoring a 1945 DUKW. Serial 353-22241 Own a restored 1968 BSA B40 Want to sail English Channel when DUKW is restored ( 3yrs ) Pleased to meet you John, You are a brave man taking on such a daunting task. I wish you every success and a great deal of luck with your project. DUKW's are the absolute tops when it comes to fun and adventure. Your scheme to sail the channel is the mark of a true adventurer, I wish you every success with that. I was lucky enough to get an invite to crew on one when we sailed the channel for the 50th anniversary of D-Day. A great thing to have done, an adventure I wont be forgetting anytime soon, and enormous gratitude to the DUKW owner for inviting me.
