Today I was at a car show with the cavalier. Only light rain for about 15 min and when sun was out it was an ok day.
Then this turned up. And i was over to the other side of the park in a flash.
I've been thinking about one of them for a while and every time I seen one, I want one even more. One from the 2nd world war can cost up wards of £20000. My budget won't stretch that far. So I'm hopfully going to get myself the french army version that they built in the 50s and early 60s. Thay are around £10000 cheaper than the ww2 ones.
The old bloke has owned this jeep for 35 years and he was there with his grand children. His is the Ford not the willys made one.
This could be my mid life crises kicking in.

That does look nice, They do go for silly money but then you're getting history and originality beyond anything else in comparison.
Military vehicles are definitely the way to go, they look right just about everywhere they go.

Re: I want one!!!
Think I'll stick to wanting a jeep, a tank is a wee bit to much. Well a BIG bit to much in fact
