Post by ANDY » Mon May 07, 2018 5:46 pm

Found this nice November 1944 Mb. Mostly complete and very little rust present. has most of its original parts including the rifle holder. unfortunately Engine is civilian, although the accessories are military . Check out at the original lube chart!

Thanks Andy

Great find... It is always exciting to see a project vehicle with so many original parts... Especially the top bow brackets which are almost never left in place!

Hi Andy,

Any chance of a photo of the mirror arm please?

Trying to map some data on them and gather a pattern of what was on what and when, even if you think it’s not a correct arm.

Thanks, Ian.
