Already more than a week ago

1st: I guess this must have been my favorite vehicle in Normandy, last week; a French owned Morris PU. The truck really looked brilliant. The owner worked on the restoration for five years and he also has a Bedford MW. Location is Batterie Hillman, Colleville-Montgomery.
@ Hanno. This must have been the same one you saw five years ago....
@ Mike. pictures for youe website are coming up.

2nd: Another great Morris, this time an CDSW owned by an MVT member. location: Etreham campsite. Sadly I only have one picture of the truck.

3rd: Standard "Tilly" at Longues-sur-Mer
4th: Humber Snipe in front of our tent at the Etreham campsite
5th: Very nice early Bedford MW (sadly covered when I went to take pictures) at the Etreham campsite

Alex,
Is this a better shot of the early MW for you ?

And this one,

Keith

Default Aussie utes

I wonder if Lang's ute got together with Ian Mcallum's ute at any stage . That would be a rare sight.....two aussie Chev utes side by side in Europe .

I agree with Alex, the blue Morris is the event winner And I'm not biased in any way at all

BTW Alex , the Standard tilly looks very much like the example that was repatriated (polite way of saying: "internationally border raided") back to the UK from South Australia . Being mostly non-land rover types .... not many here would know of the current trend of returning very early Land Rovers from OZ to the UK.. we got thousands of em and being dry most are still in reasonable shape - some of them are turning up at shows in the UK with aussie station and farm names scribbled on doors and such. I also know of a Morris army tillie from Tasmania, now back in the UK.. are there more
