Bodger Baz Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Well here is my latest toy, A 1934 Peugeot 301D, its all up and running but needed a set of tyres for an MOT, and they did not come cheap as they are metric rims. the scariest part was getting the tyres off and on as the wheels only have a small well on one side, by the valve! lets say it was hard work and nerve wrecking!! but they're done and it drives a treat a friend found some pictures of one pressed into use in WW2 so i am going to make up some markings on plates, at least i can take to military shows.

Bodge Deep Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 Wow thats a belter... I keep daydreaming about flogging the dodge and getting a 30's car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodger Baz Posted December 5, 2009 Author Share Posted December 5, 2009 must admit i could not resist the old girl, they have a real charm in the 30's and the prices are very reasonable (compared to Jeeps!) at the moment. Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodge Deep Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 True Always had a hankering for a 30's car they just ooze style... that, and engine oil ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony B Posted December 5, 2009 Share Posted December 5, 2009 That is nice! So what is an MV? Is it only purpose built, or a civillian type used by the military? A lot of Land Rover owners better think very carefully about that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great War truck Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I think it looks great. i would certainly have it as a daily run about. Not sure about the blue wheels though. A bit too Gallic? Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodger Baz Posted December 7, 2009 Author Share Posted December 7, 2009 apparently the wheels should be dark red/maroonish, the guy who restored met an old fella in france who used to sell them in Le Haye Du Puit, Normandy. He gave him an original garage badge that they put on all the cars they sold. It is now on the car. Baz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
