Default Curtains

I'm pretty sure that the curtains/ doors ( and top ) that are fitted on this VMVC jeep, are an example of the curtain sets that were made by Alby H. in Box Hill . Think it was his sister who did the sewing. He flogged off some of the curtain sets to Hancock Motors in Camberwell ( Jack O'D ) .

The genuine 1950s army curtains were a much more olive colour , with the DD stencilling . Usually, with the older originals, the plastic windows are cracked, and faded to a yellow hue.

These curtains / doors are great for long distance drives, they really make a huge difference . Also helps to have a quiet transfer case. Lapping the gears helps.
