AmphibAndy Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 I am just commencing the restoration of my Willys Jeep which has been waiting for a while for me to get around to it. Well actually since 1975 when Father bought it! Anyway, its British but I have not other information other than Butler lights on the front wings and light green British Army paint on the engine. I can find lots and lots of photos of US Army Jeeps but not so many of British Army Jeeps circa June 1944. Have any of you out there photos you could post up or just general information on fittings for a British Jeep of the period with markings? Would be very helpful . Not sure whether it should be Micky Mouse or not, I suspect not at June 44? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garys39 Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 Get yourself a copy of this book, full of photos of the Jeep in British service through WW2. Regards Gary Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmphibAndy Posted September 3, 2017 Author Share Posted September 3, 2017 thank you chaps, both of you for the very useful leads. I didnt know about either the book or the Facebook group. Book appears to be out of print, but will keep an eye open for it. Will go onto the FB Group now. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
