Looking for Canadian M151A2 Pictures....

[rob love]

I also noticed that anomaly re the numbers of M151A2s. Going by CFRs there were only about 750, give or take. Yet the data summary gives the number as 935. It is hard to misplace almost 200 Jeeps, especially in a small military like Canada.

Re the sale prices of the M151A2s, I bought my 30 out of Shilo for $110 each. There was a batch of about 20+ in Winnipeg that later sold for $50 each, but I already had enough Mutts by then. In hindsight, I could have taken the tires, batteries, distributors and alternators, headlamps and guages and hauled the rest to the scrappers and still made money off them.

I no longer have access to the DND database where these numbers are listed. Scotty or some of the others here should be able to fix you up though.

There were many extra jeeps held in Wainwright for use on RVs and general issue to courses or ex's. In the early 90s they were issuing some of the CJ7s for the same purpose; our Padre got one issued but we had so much fun with it he finally had to come asking for it back.

As Rob mentioned, I can have a boo on the MSE Database when I go back to work next week. FWIW, both of the MUTTs I have/had never had the CFR marked anywhere on them. Pulling it off the Database is the probably going to be the easiest.

Do us all a favour and post up some pictures. I'd love to see them, Tan paint or not.
