Willys Jeep....

Peter,
Brilliant stories there. I have always been fascinated by the Range Rover Carmichael Commando TACR2 6 wheel drive fire engines which my dad used many a time in the mob.

Would you believe it, but the RAF LUQA one came for sale in the UK with all its bits on it. We lived out there for 3 years when he was stationed in Malta before they kicked us out.

Don't know why I wanted it, but it was something me and my brothers thought would be a great tribute to our dad who is no longer with us, RAF LUQA badge on the doors an all!!

Guess what, spoke to the seller, said I would be up the next day with my brothers pay the asking price of £9995, and phoned just as we were leaving and it was sold.
It was immaculate having been in a dry environment for many years and no salt on the roads to corrode it.
Bugger................................I was really p****d off I can tell you. A once in a lifetime chance on buying something he probably sat in!
The other one he spent a lot of time in was the Thornycroft Nubian what a brilliant piece of kit.
Good luck next week Peter.
