Frank,
It was a continuation of contract DA-W-398-QM-189, the original contract was W-398-QM-10757. 3110 units of which were supplied to the British over a two year period.
Hope this answers your question
Regards
Keith

Hi Keith,

One nice looking Jeep. Does this mean the LAAT will go into semi-retirement?

Hows Dan going with his push-bike?

Regards Rick ('n' Jill.)

Hi Rick and Jill
Hope all is well with both of you, and yes Dan still has his bike, which always attracts a lot of attention at shows, so we generally chain it to the Chevy.
The MB will hopefully be used this year as a general rounabout, and not kept just for shows. The Chevy will be going out, but only to local shows, as petrol over here in the UK is £1.40p and rising per litre !. I'll post some pictures of the MB when she is finished.
Best Regards
Keith

Well, hopefully attached are some pictures of the MB finally registered and on her first outing. I must say that I am very pleased with the final result, sadly, as it's taken over 6 months to get her on the road, due to various goverment departments wanting their input, the weather is now cold and wet over here in England, so it's a matter of choosing the right moment to take her out.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the pictures
Keith

Hi Robert,
Glad you appriciate them (there is a fully restored Dodge WC 51 in the garage as well, which I saved 36 years ago).
Markings are of my dad's old unit in India/Burma
