TooTallMike Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Last night I towed a friend's WW2 Jeep from his garage to his lockup so he can start work on it. It all went fine apart from him starting it in gear and crashing it into the back of the pickup. Bent the repro Jeep front bumper and broke one of my no. plate lights :-( It's a very original Jeep and will probably be going to W&P as is. He seems to think he shouldn't take it until it's restored but I reckon it'll cause far more of a stir covered in rust and looking like it's been dragged out of a hedge (which it was!)

Jessie The Jeep Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Got any close up pics of the jeep? Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted May 25, 2007 Author Share Posted May 25, 2007 No, sorry. These are from when we collected it though. It's still got all the data plates on and was UK registered. The tax disc was sometime in the 80s I think. It runs and drives but has no brakes (he's going to do them before W&P). He's fitted new tyres and some floor panels. I've told him he's very likely to get offers on it while he's driving it round and that he should seriously consider selling it, but what's something like this worth?

Bodge Deep Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 Oooh nice find It's worth nowt though. I'll give your mate £20 for it but only 'cause I'm generous like that :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I love stories like this..........more more Mike. Value wise, I will beat Bodgemans offer and I would give him £25 and I would through a cake into the deal too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick W Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 I cant believe where you are finding all this stuff from Mike, thats what I need an entry level hedge find! ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeEnfield Posted May 25, 2007 Share Posted May 25, 2007 :schocked: VERY NICE find;..................I guess your friend could be a wealthy man,............I'm guessing quite a few folk will be interested in crossing his palms with pic's of the queen............... :whistle: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashley Posted May 28, 2007 Share Posted May 28, 2007 Hi, i think your friend should plow all his cash in to a top rate resto :roll: and may he could send me details of the trailer on board to give him more room in his garage :-D Ashley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TooTallMike Posted May 28, 2007 Author Share Posted May 28, 2007 I cant believe where you are finding all this stuff from Mike, thats what I need an entry level hedge find! ;-) These things are still out there lurking in gardens and sheds & once people know you're interested it's amazing what the grapevine brings up :-) Ashley - the trailer is a wartime trailer pump. It's all there but stripped. One of our younger members is doing his 'apprenticeship' on it. As for selling it - I think W&P is the way to go so keep an eye out for it there!
