Advertisement Posted February 25, 2010 Posted February 25, 2010 Hi jlancasterd, Take a look here Jeep. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
stuny Posted February 25, 2010 Share #2 Posted February 25, 2010 John - I assume that this is at some sort of exhibition. If not, the tools and currier's bag are at risk of walking away. Very nice shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pauledell Posted February 26, 2010 Share #3 Posted February 26, 2010 John, A nice shot. It looks like a restored WWII veteran. Paul Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jlancasterd Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share #4 Posted February 26, 2010 John, It looks like a restored WWII veteran. Paul I think so too - in the 1950s and early '60s you could buy 'demobbed', ex US Army, Jeeps in UK quite cheaply - a friend at university had one. This was taking part in a classic car tour of North Wales last weekend, it was parked at Penrhyn Castle near Bangor along with several other vehicles on the tour. The front end was fairly authentic too - apart from the UK registration. [ATTACH]190024[/ATTACH] Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rob_x2004 Posted March 1, 2010 Share #5 Posted March 1, 2010 Out here they had lend lease and whatever agreements attached, and at the end of the war they drove all these things off the end of the wharves, and threw a heap of stuff after them. My uncle reckoned remembering they were going at it for days. Anything painted green went into Port Stephens. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

My uncle reckoned remembering they were going at it for days. Anything painted green went into Port Stephens. When we lived in Sabah we were to that the same thing happened in North Borneo at the end of WW2 - except that the local Chinese waited until the troops had gone back to barracks, launched their fishing boats and hauled the jeeps up again. Given a good washing down with fresh water and an oil change, many of them ran for years in private hands. The 'jeepney' taxis in Manila had their origins in a similar local initiative.
