It's fun to look at the details on photos like that. I like the "flipper" directional signals on that hungarian jeep. I wonder if you could get that past inspection in some of the more strict environs that require such mods?

I was notified by Milweb of an advert for the forthcoming Auction of Vehicles and artifracts by AIOLFI & PARTNERS of Caen, France.( tel:0033 607 433 805 )
There are 2 lots that caught my attention:
These are from the Collection Jean Paul Loirat disposal :Lot 108, a LONG-BODIED JEEP, and Lot 107, a Jeep with a Coachbuilt body.

The catalogue is downloadable - do a search for MILWEB - ARMOUR, and you will see the advert for the sale, which is at the end of May 2013
Good hunting!

Very interesting that the middle seat row is looking forward. In our Jeep Willys LWB the seats are looking to the center.
We didn´t find any signs that our LWB is a field mod. The frame looks like out of the factory and is one piece.
