I will be attending the D-Day 75th Anniversary (June 6th, 2019) in Normandy France.
Ideally, I want to rent two jeeps and trailer for a week to drive around Normandy and possibly...to Paris. Its a personal dream.
Why two jeeps? (a backup, more people can ride around, carry gear (okay wine!), looks really cool!) I can make one work, but it just much tighter.
I have a good friend who will be jumping as an 82nd Airborne Paratrooper (82nd Veteran) and another MVPA member (Navy Iraq Veteran) who are planning to attend also.
Logistics:
I am very willing to pay a good amount, and will make a non-refundable deposit.
I will travel to Europe prior to June to confirm vehicles and details (test drive, pickup, dropoff, insurance, licenses, etc.)
I will be able to speak passable French, still working on this!
We are very experienced jeep owners and drivers (restoring and owning many jeeps, 41 Slat, 43 MB, 43 Ford, 44 MB).
If you are interested, know of someone interested, might be interested, have any contacts, or helpful suggestions...
I am also researching shipping my jeep, but this looks like about $8000 round trip.
Please contact me

I think there's a topic on here about pooling together for the shipping to Normandy 2019 and make a good deal on transport costs. Maybe that's an option?

I am also interested in that option. I'm in the Seattle area, and would coordinate with others. A 40 foot container would hold two jeeps and a trailer (possibly three depending on how the trailer is loaded).
Any leads are appreciated.
