I have an MB, no serial number, only the tub gusset number - 4033. It's registered as a '41 using the tub number on the registration. Is there any database or resources that I can refer to to help identify it as a true '41 model? Or can someone on this forum provide their input? The MB is currently going through a total restoration. Much appreciated.

Hi

I would estimate a date between end of December 41 - early part of January 42.

Interesting to know. Might be worth compilation of a list. If anyone thinks it useful I'm happy to do. I know of 5 owners which must be a drop in the ocean. Andrew

I know of at least another 5 too, one really early late November '41 example and another very early December '41 the latter a full nut and bolt restoration.

Anyone want me to go ahead and compile a UK slat grill owner list?

To all,

I am the former owner of MB 102554, the Date of Delivery is 12/31/41. Yes, due to the DOD, it must have been kept back for some reason due to reason's unknown. I purchased the jeep in 1974 in the Fresno area of California. The jeep had a flathead Studebaker six cylinder, was painted spray can purple with a spray can white interior. I restored the jeep in the ensuing years after purchase. I sold the jeep in 2001-2002 just prior to my retirement from the fire service.

The current owner or location of the jeep is unknown,

Hi. Sorry I have been away for a while (family matters) but I will get onto this. There is much great information on here but a UK list would be incredibly useful and information. I will unashamedly plagiarise the best of the best lists from here and see if anything can be added of use. Andrew
