Australian Combat 6 Willys jeep

[warren brown]

Thanks everyone - a fascinating history - everything helps in piecing together the story of this odd Willys jeep offshoot. You're right Hanno - it is an interesting jeep - this Australian sideline in the jeep story is one of those things that could just disappear into the ether due to 50 years of indifference - and suddenly become important when they're all gone - and I'm really pleased my brother Gordon (yes, Gordon Brown and no, he wasn't Prime Minister of Great Britain - at least he didn't let on, but you never know...) is bringing it back to 'out of the box' condition.
Thanks for the sales brochure pic Mike (we'll check out the Canadian CJ3B website) and the clearing sale sure looks tempting - i remember those 4WD Falcon utes clearly, the suspension seemed monstrously jacked-up, with black steel wheels and enormous, cumbersome-looking free-wheeling hubs - and in the photo you can see the special '4 Wheel Drive' badge on the mudguard - certainly another interesting project.
