Latest acquisition
 

Well, the White Scout Car was finally delivered to the Netherlands this week and on the return I picked up my latest purchase. A very nice project, a 1943 HUP.

If anyone can help, I am looking for the following for it:

The interior dome light.
Any parts of the sliding roof mechanism.
The central bench seat.
Left hand fuel tank.
The Fuel tank guards

I am also looking for any in service photos of HUPs in North West Europe or Italy.

Looks good James,

and no issue with the low bridges ;)

Nice and low !!!! :thup:

Lovely purchase James. Is this the one that was for sale in France some time ago?

Gday James
 

Nice find James - do you have any photo's of what these items should look like?

Or anyone else on the forum post some perhaps?

Hi Alex,

Yes it is.

It was sold to a gentleman in the Netherlands, he stored it for 4 years and has now decided to sell her on.

Hi Tony,

I will sort through my pictures and post the missing articles.

Well done James, another great addition to the "Gosling CMP Stable" :thup2:

Thanks Hanno,

Now that Sally has formally laid claim to the Jeep and the LOHR was hers anyway, I now officially am a CMP only collector!
:thup2:

This is the locking and lifting mechanism I am after and the dome light.

I know where there are these parts are..... in a barn Nr Godstone :nono:

The roof light is a real pain for passengers as one tends to scalp oneself on it :doh:

new HUP
 

James,

Congratulations on your fine new HUP and your growing CMP fleet. :thup2: PM sent.

John

I think he might not be too happy on his next trip to the barn. :fry:

Really? :no4:

Thanks James
 

For posting the pic's. I thought the latch was a far simpler mechanism and Ive never seen one of the lights.

Thought I might be able to help but these bits are out of my league :giveup

Glad youve seen the light and sticking to the Blitz :thup2:

Here are some before and after shots, sent to me by the original French owner who rescued the HUP from the mountains.
