I know this is not a Bantam but I figure this is as good a place as any to post:













It looks like the original color was some sort of blue like a dark turquoise.


The floor needs some minor repair but for the most part all the trailer needs minimal work.

It's hard to find information on these things.  I didn't see any tags or anything like that but I don't know where to look.  Anyone know?  What years were they made?

Dang, I keep hoping to walk around a corner one of these days and find a trailer myself...
Nice save, Jpet. Looks pretty darn good!

I can't do a search on that forum.  You have to do that image verification thing and I must be blind or something cause I just can't read them things. CryCry

Do you have to be a member on earlyCJ5.com to do a search?

Nothing comes up on "spen"

Well I combed through all the threads on the CJ5 page.  There are several threads but they are mostly unanswered questions.  Does anyone know where the data tags should be?

Look...since you're so obsessed with finding tags & data plates AND because I owe
you a BIG FAVOR...why don't you let me just swap you one of my complete Bantams
for your SPEN.  You'll have a nice early 46 Bantam with all the original data plates Big smile!
....sound good? LOL!
