Hello Jean & Romain...

Jean, I don't know if you'd be interested, but it'd be good to have an enthusiast like yourself in an owners club... :wink:

Romain - it'd be great to meet-up...when your coming over, let me know and we'll organise something... 8)
Are you anywhere near Nancy? - I get over there occasionally...

Funnily enough, I'm going to be in Brittany for Christmas - its a shame your not in the west of France!

Keep in-touch...

Regards - Guy. :-))
'If its Old, Green & Smells Funny - I'll probably like it!

Hi Jean & Romain - great looking jeeps (and what an outstanding collection).

I have VEP 1728 - DOD 20/2/42 with motor 1691 so no matching motor but only 37 digits out.

Mine is a Dearborn vehicle - so at some stage somewhere in America, yours and mine were probably both nice and fresh and just sitting in yards waiting to be delivered on the same day:D

kind of cousins really ---------- :lol:

Hi Wayne
Thanks for your kind comments.
Great jeep you have too ! If you have time, photos of your beauty would be much appreciated ! Maybe you have a topic in which you present her ?
Our vep Jeep was a Young california girl that became an old french lady, but we try to keep her as much authentic than possible....

These is my 37473 scripted ford, a little less rare.. it's not a VEP


the following ones were taken a few days ago during a meeting in France
the willys 44 nearby belongs to my big brother
