Still, the annual UK CJ2A forum meet (when we organise it) will be select, close to home and think positive, the rounds will be cheap! BTW I have heard that one of those MB jeeper guys near Colchester has just bought one. I will see if I can get in touch.

LOL 
I have seen a jeep around the Chelmsford area but not sure what it is

Just on my way out to pick up some DIY bits so as it’s a nice day I am taking the jeep

Plus it’a a bonus when the other half likes going out in it

If I can actually get road legal by then 
I’m thinking about doing this. Could be fun, especially the drive through.

JonJ
         just had a look at the application form for the American Car Show, application forms need to be in at least 5 weeks in advance.

Will you CJ be ready, what needs doing to get it on the road?

Don't know if you are insured yet but a very good company is Hegartys.
They are agents for the RAC, it includes home start and recovery also for abroad if needed (Normandy visits etc)

Hi!
How did I miss that post? Am I too late?

Also I’m having real trouble getting headlamps, housing through to door. Also parking lights. Atlantic recon they have them and are delivering in a few days. If not I have looked everywhere so might have to swap it out for an MB grill. Don’t want to but summer is burning away!

Hope your keeping safe and well

Jon

Hi, I'm in Hampshire ... have owned my 2A for a number of years but life got in the way of it's restoration. I'm starting back on it now, and trying to get stuck in.
Puddleduck are the seats you can get early ones?

Hi
    The rear seats are new but original style with the short back as opposed to the long back type and is just the frame no cushions

These are being sourced by a contact I have

Give me a bell on 07470218371 and I will give you the details
