G'day jared
It looks like a CJ3B (high bonnet model). The CJ3B was used by the RAAF so it may be one of those as the spare wheel is also mounted at the back. It may even be a 1958 army trials vehicle. http://www.film.queensu.ca/Cj3b/Mili...tArmyTest.html ![]() ![]() Heres a photo of a Willys CJ3B after being assembled in Perth, WA in the 50's. ![]() Last edited by Stuart Kirkham; 17-02-10 at 10:12. |

OK the photos taken in Australia going by bith the serial of the jeep and the mod state of the C130, were taken between 1959 and 1961
Regards Col These jeeps were a heap of crap, especially equiped with Lucas starters etc and used to run through starters and ring gears like no other vehicle I have seen.

Look at the battery tray. If it is really tall compared to a Cj2a or 3a, then it is a 3b.

When the C130A's came from the USA, it was the practice to onloy put the Kangaroo on the fusalage.
If you look at any RAAF aircraft in the late 50's that was the norm. By the early 60's it was kangaroos on the wings too. The A model in the jeep photos was the first we got and it would have been late 50's and early 60's because there are no pylon tanks fitted. This aircraft is now buried at Richmond as it was damaged in a bad storm, but by then it was being used as a loading trainer and had nothing except the fusalage left. Regards Col ![]()

Got to agree with Anthony,
Mahindra has the scuttle mounted wipers, footwell vents, similar fuel fillers and the unusual tailgate design matches. Would have been a Pugeot (copy) diesal. The vendor may need to redo his research, but all jeeps (and clones apparently) seem to be advertised as 42/43 regerdless of fact. There was a 53(?) high bonnett that was advertised locally for over 2 years as a '43. Vendor refused to accept the fact, even when side by side with an original. Yes, it was eventually sold, with the purchaser beleiving it to be a "43........ Rich.

Have you met the Hotchkiss 201 fraternity that are genuine WW2? They seem to be like young kids...They all want to be older.
