WOW
big fan of the stuart! jeeps are getting silly money now... was in normandy last year and saw new build ( like yours) for sale for 25 grand, now doubt by the end of our tour it was still there.. bit like that origional ERA turbo in that mini dealership....
and we got big guns 8) lots of big guns! just not allowed to fit them to the vehcile because my dad doesnt want the hassle of having to secure them to the vehicle at shows, as the management of the shows are getting tougher and tougher on show guns... few years ago i used to run round with our deact carbine.....
ah the good ole days!
didnt know there were so many military vehicle fans on here!
I know what you mean about the shows, we went to alot less this year because of it (and mum dosnt like us spending most of our time at shows
) only did War and Peace, Bovington tankfest and a few smaller ones this year, and dads selling everything but the '44 Jeep next year
(finaly gave in to mum lol
)
Also agree about the price of this stuff, its insane! We started the new build Jeep about 4 years ago (long slow build haha) with the aim to sell it for about £12000, but we had an offer of £20000 last month! I really wanted a Jeep for my first car but theyre waaay too expensive
And Im a bigger fan of Minis now 
May have even bumped into you at a show without realising it, the beer tent at War and Peace can be an eye opener 
yeah our lot are starting to do less shows.. we only really do the war and peace show, Duxford military vehicle show and Normandy. go with about 20 jeeps in our area with dodges, weapons carriers and the like:)
i wanted a jeep for the no. 1 as well, then came the issue of safety, it being big cc ect so im going with the mini

dont sell your 44!! get rid of the ole new-build! no history 8) its the history that makes them, ours is so unique because of the bullet holes and how we restored it.
was in the south of France over the holidays, saw these two in a remote garage, look war-ish!
we also do jeeps for the blokes in our area, mots, maintanance ect. had a bloke drive in saying his dad had an old jeep in his garage, broke down 15 years ago, never used since, can we make it work? XP tis a challenge we won! MOTed and to its original owner since the war 8)
and bungle, theyre too new! its the world war machines i like:)
just realised this is faces to the users! better stop the old talk of MVT's on here, might get shouted ( through a computer!) at

if you got facebook add me, Harrison Kirby. got a fair few pics of the old vehicles!
