I thought the Von Rhoda Jeep had been listed for sale, but no, it's Another one.

But have a look at the other items this seller has for sale, and pay close attention to the pictures.

Hi Tony

Saw your eBay reply and had a funny feeling in the gut, so I raced to the garage and the baby was still there.

Cheers

It sure is. I have seen this truck up close and know the seller. He is a maestro with his work and does things very thoroughly. Wish I had the money to buy it myself.

Oh no! it's Tony's matching trailer, too!

Nah, it's another 1945 GMH No4 painted desert colours.:

Note that it has the in-service hub spacers to fit Land Rover wheels when these trailers were still in service when the Series 2 was introduced. Interestingly, it has found a pair of Austin Champ wheels.

Tony (or anyonelse for that matter),
any idea what the cleats on the Trailer rims in the post above would be for?
Rich.

[motto (RIP)]

The answer would be obvious had this been a Ben Hur trailer.
They would be for slashing an opponents tyres in a chariot race!
Other than that they would have to be for barring the wheel and I don't know how successful that would be. They probably fall into the same category as the recently discussed unstuckers. Pretty useless.

You see these cleats on field gun wheels sometimes, to put ropes around to manouver them.

Thanks David and Richard for your thoughts. I would have thought artillery, but what artillery ever had Champ rims?
I contacted some of the Champ owners brain trust and one long time Champ owner in the UK has a set of these, they were used (In Germany at least ) for the fitting of army issue wheel chains on the Champ.
Trailer's sold anyway!
