Thanks everyone! Wow - what a response! Little Jo - thanks for the tip - I've been following the life story of your jeep for some time - and it's an inspiration. Mike - thanks for your knowledge - at this point I need to crawl all over it and jot down everything I can find - sadly the glove box IDs are missing - but i'll get the engine and chassis IDs this weekend. I had my little bloke (6 years old) with me last weekend - and he needs ten times the attention of an ageing GPW. And thank you for your interest - I haven't given you any numbers for the White Scout Car or the Blitz as you've previously asked - flat out like a lizard drinking lately. Colin M/S - I don't think we're any different with our gun laws - if I follow right to the letter of the law I can probably do something about Vickers K deactivated or replicas but I need to deliver my grandmother to the firearms registry as surety. And Dave M - interestingly, the jeep has had at some point a coat of paint - at least in parts - of a green with a touch of blue in it - something like that USMC colour used in The Pacific series you were involved in with your GMC. I can see OD - the original under the toolbox lids - and I think bronze olive and another coat of drab and then this blue green colour. It's a bloody Picasso.
