That looks lovely, but I can't help thinking the estimate isn't entirely realistic. Regardless, thanks for sharing Thumbs Up Rob

I like that a lot! Very low estimate!! Buyers premium 25%!!! Shocked

Not seen the galv strip across the doors with wind down windows. Was this standard at that age? James

Love the description 'Inspired by the US Army's wartime 'Jeep', developed in haste and intended for short-term small-scale production'

And seventy years later the haste did not improve and to be fair in my opinion even after seven decades they still did not get it right, maybe that is the charm of the vehicle. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

The 25% buyer's premium is also subject to VAT, so if you bought that for say £10k you'd be paying £3000 on top in fees! Shocking!

It is a lovely thing, though. The galv strip on the doors was a short-lived feature and is rare, but made the vehicle loo, so much better.

I guess Bonhams publish the figures they sell for. What do you think it will go for? It looks very original to me.

Has been painted tho' I would have said from the close up rear shot?

And I think the buyers premium is actually a mere 15% + VAT Whistle Rob

Well spotted, it's "automobilia" not cars that attract the 25% premium.

Nice as the Landrover is, I'd rather have the Type 44 if anyone wants to buy me a prezzie!

The Land Rover has a Dunsfold wheel cover and I wouldn't be surprised if they'd waved their magic wand over it at some point in the last few years. Darren
