hoppy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 Could anyone please help? How do I start researching the military records and history of a Hotchkiss jeep? Many thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruxy Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 If it is a genuine unmolested Hotchkiss M201 , then you will find plenty to Google on - after that - learn to speak French. I remember hundreds of Hotchkiss coming to UK about 1980, the problem is that hundreds of M201 were going through La Maltournee workshops for re-build from early 1970's. Meaning they could be mixed with Willys or Ford bits - becoming a Hotchpotch or was it a MALT - I forget now. I suppose the start point is original Hotchkiss nomenclature plate & hope for no Re-build plate & loads of numbers on the chassis LoL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
