Hi Deryk!
Sorry to contradict you, but it is not completely true that in Japan there
are NOT mil-veh apart from the military (chuckle!!)!
There is (chuckle!) Mori M151 (which was featured twice in two Military
Vehicle Magazine Calendars (before and after restoration) and a WWII Jeep
restored by a famous Australian restorer (sorry I do not remember his name
at the moment). Mori also used his M151 as Christmas Greetings Card and it
has been published in ARMY MOTORS in the section on mil-veh Christmas
Greetings.
Mori, where are you?
Deryk, if you will ever come to Italy (please, let me know in advance!) you
will not see mil-veh in the street, apart from the military... Well, there
are collectors who owns them, but they are a very little minority... U.S.
and U.K. are O.D. Country...!
Regards and
Get Them Rolling!!
