Willys MB 205580
MB built Jan '43. Then the French at La Maltournee got hold of it and converted it to 12v, replaced the cowl and firewall. All the rest is original (I think, so far!). She has a composite body with Ford gussets and MB attachments. Any Maltournee bits I change back to MB e.g. speedo, fuel gauge etc I'm keeping for the next owner, or my son if he wants it when I die, as they are part of the history of the jeep I think its important to tell the whole story. Not just part of it. She is looking good and getting better! Could do with some combat wheels, so if anyone has any (in UK) please let me know and I'll buy them off you. The more I drive this old girl the more I love her. I'll show her at some events this year.
