The woman on the passenger seat is the owner of "LITTLE MIKE".

It's Isabelle, she's farmer.

Nice vintage farm pics.
I would have keep the hood and the windshield apart with original markings !

But I did like that on my MB back in the 90’s and erased the name of the driver and the name of the jeep :-(

Bonjour la Normandie !

Yep nice story, but a real shame that the original markings got wiped away. Original only once. (In my opinion)
