BCOF Jeep
Ian Fawbert found this interesting pic of a BCOF Jeep . Looking at the side curtains begs the question, Are these the GM-H made curtains/doors that were made by GM-H to a 1944 Aust. Govt. contract ? Or maybe the curtains were a one off job done in Japan ?

These would be the side curtains and doors made under contract by the Humber car company during WW2. I have fitted a genuine new set to a customers jeep in the past.

I found a newspaper article where the Humber/Rootes 'jeep' curtains are mentioned. https://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/a...%20curtains%22 The windscreen wipers fitted to that BCOF jeep are actually Trico vacuum wipers , the vacuum hose is visible .
