Hello all,

Not quite a new member, but till now only a reader.
My name is Sjoerd van de Wal and am living in Hoogland, a village near Amersfoort in the Middle of the Netherlands.

As long a i can remember i have an strong interest in WW2 and pre 1945 technical stuff.
I am the proud owner of a 1936 Wehrmacht DKW SB200 Motorbike which i am restoring at the moment and a 1936 DKW RT98 which was used by the Dutch military in may 1940 for despatch riding.

This year (or next) i am hoping to fulfill one of my biggest wishes, to add a Ford CMP truck to my collection so i am oriëntating myself at this moment on mainly the Ford F8 or F15.
First i want to get some specific knowledge about these trucks before buying one, we'll just see.

Kind regards,

Sjoerd van de Wal

Welcome Sjoerd!
 

Great to have you here and contributing to the forum. Good luck with your quest for a CMP! :thup2:

Hi Sjoerd, welcome to MLU as a semi-new member! Sounds like a nice pair of motorcycles you have, any photos to post? Good luck in your search for a Ford CMP, an excellent choice! Cheers, Tony

Thank you for the welcome.

I know i can find a lot of information on this forum which i will going to need in the future.

My plan is to get information first and then going to look for a fairly restored example which allready is road legal. My wife told me that i may not buy another total restoration object. Part restoration is fine, as long as we can enjoy driving it.

Attached 2 pictures of my bikes, not commonwealth but still very nice.

DKW SB200 1936 Wehrmacht, with approval stamp of the Reichswehr and a DKW RT98 2.5 PS 1936.

Rgds.
