Hi all,
My name is Vince and I've been restoring and maintaining MVs for about 20 years. I've had WW2 Matadors, all sorts of Land Rovers and have been involved in CVRTs for about 12 years. I also help look after a fleet of vehicles ranging from small (WC52) to large (Ward LaFrance Series 5) vehicles, war time to post war (M55, Land Rover, Daimler Ferrets). I'm hoping to purchase an M1009 CUCV in the next couple of weeks as a show vehicle and 2nd car.
When I'm not working on MVs, I volunteer at the Bluebell railway in Sussex England, where I recently qualified as a Fireman (stoker in US parlance).
I've found the posts on this forum useful in gaining an understanding of M1009s prior to (hopefully!) going to view one next week. Having owned 7 Land Rovers of various types over the years (from brand new to fixer-uppers, both civvy and military) I have cured myself of that disease, and am looking forward to some American 6.2 V8 action! I used to drive a friends Ford F350 which we'd put a Cummins B series in, and I never didn't have a smile on my face when driving it.
