I found this jeep in the countryside of Parma. The person to whom it belonged to a farmer who has used it from 1947 until 1985 to transport wood from the mountains.
The engine and the bodywork is original although it has been painted a green pea.
Being restored in the windshield I found inseigne of the British 8th Army 176th ITRUY Signal Engineer, and still under the insignia of the 82nd Airborne Sig.Co. K4
The original hood number found under the paint 20298865-SX is in blu. (x) Suffix very hard to find i think is experimental.
The person who sold me the jeep I was also handed over the radio that had been assembled. A SCR-284 BC-654 with its mounting. Very provable jeep arrived in Italy with the landing force came to Sicily from North Africa and subsequently assigned to British troops. All other information is appreciated. antonio@radiomilitari.com
After a long and painstaking restoration, the jeep is finally reborn.
The radio station SCR-284 BC-654 is in perfect working condition.
All stages are algned.
The radio station is equipped with the M-209 encoder.
The jeep has the Trayler Bantam T-3
