MB 177805
Restored from a pile of scrap over several years. There's loads of pictures and stuff on my web site... Charlie's Willys Jeep Site. The DOD is an estimate. No data plates. Used by the British army till Feb. 59 with the No. 71 YJ 13. Airborne radio jeep. It had the early (plastic wheel) quick release steering wheel, bakelite horn button on dash, rear differential lamp, the crazy wee trailer light socket and the rear wheel tub had been lowered to let the radio clear the Horsa glider wing spar.
