Hi Tomas,

 

Great, you saved it. :-D

 

Looks like you've some work there, are you keeping it as a mwc, or going to restore it as mwd ??

 

On your friends mwd, in the pic's, it looks as though he has 'boxes', mounted on each side of the front 'bumper',.............:???

 

 

Anyways,.............from one MW bedford, to another,............NICE ONE. :-D

 

Give me a shout, if I can help regarding parts suppliers,....well, english one's, anyways.

 

All the best,

thank you Andy for nice message!

 

You know I live in central Europe and here its not easy search parts for british vehicles, here only russian or germans.

 

I have this two MWD and now MWC and next one from Poland,

(its in very poor condition,)

and I pay in England one wreck MWD (mr.Potterton from Boston)

moneys is in Potterton pocket, but I never see this MW!Poor man!

 

This my first MWD (have over 10years) stay here after war,

after service 1944-45 in Czechoslovak independent armoured brigade group,

from this time I like MW type truck,

This MW from Poland (I dont know chassis numer, its broken

maybe MWG(?))

engine, radiator, gearox etc. was from russian GAZ(!)

Cab was from OY(!), wood body from Hungarian truck,

I have project make full reconstruction to early type MWD "fly screen"

And this MWC want make to as water tank, beacouse this water tank

equipment is wery good and orig. condition(!), for MW collection,

think, is nice item.

thank you for offer for help,

Tomas
