Default Melbourne Jeep trailer

I found these pics in the Victorian State Library .

Looks like a prototype Jeep trailer, possibly by Martin and King . M&K were high end automotive body builders.Based in High St Malvern, they built bodies for Rolls Royce cars. Looking through the Trove newspapers archive, M&K built a few special trailers during WW2

Default Ski lodge

Ski lodge Jeep, it has 1946 issued Victorian number plates, JE 170 . Some of our club Jeeps featured these 1946 J series number plates, I can think of a few owners that sadly have gone to heaven.

Default Jumping Jeep

This could be one of the 'Jumping Jeeps' . A film that was probably filmed in Melbourne.
