Hi Tony

My mate has a genuine Grey WW2 MB Willys Jeep which belonged to the RAN. It came off the docks in Melbourne and is still painted in the Navy Grey colour. He said he wouldn't paint it any other colour than for what it was used for in the Navy. I am sure the Navy also used the two wheeled Blitz as well.

Cheers

Tony
