Tony B Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Fantastic story Tony our WC54 has refused both attempts to get her to Normandy in the last ten years and sadly funds and work schedules have ruled out the attempt this year so good luck and safe journey to everyone completing the trip and please take lots of pictures of your pride and joys for those of us stuck back home. Steve Hopefully Steve my WC54 will be back there after 70 years. You all know the story, she has to get there! Problem at the moment is trailer wiring, but 5 m of 7 core and a couple of hours should cure that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 If you should need parts for Dodge, Jeep and GMC in Normandy then its good to know Wildenberg MV parts in in Asnelles, near Arromanche. Say hi to Ronny from me if you're at their trailer.:-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spanter Posted June 2, 2014 Share Posted June 2, 2014 Hope the trip goes well for everyone and Tony I look forward to seeing pictures of Katy on the beach, willenberg were a godsend in 2004 when we had to leave the jeep outside the campsite due to a night time candle lit parade and 'bits' were liberated. Ronny was 5 minutes walk away and saved the trip, highly recommend their treasure trove of a trailer and unusually fair prices.

rosie Posted June 8, 2014 Share Posted June 8, 2014 Well we got there and back with no issues. Hope everyone else did. It was an awesome time, so many people there, lots of Vets, so many MVs it was must have been like 70 years ago to the locals. I will put some pictures up later. If you're on Facebook I've done some on there already (Rosie Rixon) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking forward to seeing your photos on here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Farrant Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Of course a 6BT is 360ci and only 100cc larger than a 354 ..... might be nearer the mark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
