Mike, I wanted one too, tried to buy the other one when the Victory Museum at Arlon, Belgium, closed down. However, most of the collection was sold off and it ended up here .... http://www.wwiivictory.org



Was riding shotgun on Rory's PU for many miles in Normandy, wonderful vehicles they are. BTW, we visited a French vehicle collector near Caen who recently acquired a PU which had been in French military use after WW2. No doubt Rory will fill you in on the details soon. Interestingly, it has had a Class I rebuild in 1945, and the owner found the chassis, axles etc. had been totally repainted in a blue-grey colour. Can anyone explain that colour? Ex-RN truck, just a colour that happened to be in stock, on demand of the new owner?
