How many jeeps, survived after the World War II ?
How many jeeps, survived after the war?
Noting the photos in Life magazine, where there is large number of jeeps shattered, I wondered, what was the amount of jeeps in normal operating condition that survived the WWII?
And how many are remaining in operation at present, including the restored?
Some of you did the same questions that me?
Cordiales saludos

But wonder how many of them are Hotchkiss ??David Webb wrote:I picked up from somewhere that there are 5000 jeeps in Britain. Can't remenber the source of that, but there are certainly a lot about.
David
Interesting that with so many jeeps available in Europe that Englanders are importing them from the US --

Well Dave and All , when you go to shows in the UK about 50% of jeeps are Hotchkiss.. I think that the 5000- 6000 figure is a MVT figure ..

Thanks for answering my question!
Discounted as 25k Hotchkiss manufactured.
Here, in Argentina, we know of about 20 that are being restored, and perhaps many others found scattered throughout my country.
In this forum, there are almost 4k registered. And in the rest of the world?
How many MB GPW survived the WWII ???????

Quite awhile back on the G503 forum this question was put forth.
Many people offered their salient opinions.
While this number might seem outrageous to some, 10% of the total production run of G503 jeeps STILL exist in some form in the world.
That's 65,000 jeeps!!! Makes me happy!!!
