Nick Johns Posted October 21, 2007 Author Share Posted October 21, 2007 They were in Van Dam's yard on the Dutch/German border nr. Roermond, we bought 8 Jimmys in 1985 for a film production and drove them all back to UK with an M151 Mutt in the back. Certainly lots were saved for preservation, at the time I think they cost about £1200 each. The 8 we had were sold after the film, who knows, an HMVF member may now own one of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

abn deuce Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 My Airportable came from D. Van Dam B.V. Yard in Ziest in 1990, that it had just arrived a short time earlier as part of the last 250 WW2 U.S. trucks being surplus from the Netherland Military.At that time a plain Cargo Jimmie without winch was going for $2,500.00 Dollars U.S. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
