my neighbor, a ww 2 vet that was a combat engineer and went across Europe right behind Patton had a willys 1940s jeep. He and his son also were ford model A enthusiasts and had 5 of them coup, sedan, tudor, pickup, phaeton, etc
A US Army WWII jeep was found sunk in a canal in Metz, France in 1958 when the French Army explosives teams were clearing canals. After it was pulled out of the canal mud it was sunk into, they cleaned out the mud etc, pulled out its battery, put in a new one, and checked all the jeep parts etc.....it's tires were still inflated and other than needing lubrication, were okay. It was painted up with French Army markings, those covering the original US Army WWII ones.....the jeep became the "mobile-mascot" of the French Army Metz Divisional Commander and used in every military and civil parade in the Alsace-Lorraine District of France.
They convert a british airborne jeep to the SAS jeep. The pink land rovers was because they almost drove into a plane wreck in the dessert, the plane had been red but was bleached to pink by the sun, because of the pink colour it almost was invisible.
No mention of the original BRC-40, Bantam Recon Car which was the original “Jeep” accepted by the US Army in 1940. These were limited in production due to the small size of the Bantam Auto Company.
" They were sprayed at the factory......that's how they produced so many of them......." Who knew that the secret to mass production was the paint finish?

There's no way the other twin had no idea about the Pink Panthar Landrovers as anyone who is into Military vehicles as much as these two would be more than familiar with them
I have a 1946 cj2a jeep that has fenders from and old crashed willy’s MB, and a motor from another, a bumper from a different mb and a windshield from a cj3b jeep, finding body panels are kinda easy, I like my zombie jeep, I call her bones
The BlackBrickStudios technically it's possible as a man from your country had a functioning panther and flak88 in an underground garage until 2017, he legally owned them but the government didn't like that so they took them away. He owned these for 20 years. All you have to do is build a garage and store your tiger there no one needs to know
Yeah, I felt bad for him. I thought they were done with that government intrusion BS. Sadly, us "Yanks" are starting to experience what our forbearers sought to shake off when they left Mother Europe. Maybe there is something in our blood that needs thuggish government and simultaneously needs freedom?
S4 EP3 SAS @17 mins, Freddie and Bruce pull up in a yard,inside the vehicle,As they pull in,Bruce is wearing,an INDIGO pocket chief.But it's mysteriously turns BROWN,as he's shown stepping out of the vehicle.HOW DID HE DO THAT????
My dad was in one of those jeeps in WW2. There is a documentary on how he came to join the SAS on a TH-cam video under MyLastWord Arie Noot.

Source?
Love these combat dealers videos....shame i can't find any full episodes on tv.
Airs on Quest every week, and if you're really struggling you can get the first two series on TH-cam I think?
@@GeriatricFan1963 thanks very much! Do u know what day it's on??
Netflix there on there

Those blokes are the 'dogs wotsits' when it comes to recommissioning old bits of kit!. Nice one!. Nuff said. 🙂
If the vehicle was supposed to been repainted 6:47 there is paint missing on the wheel arch
Good thing they look exactly like 2022 Jeep’s do. Makes it easier.
What movie was this Jeep supposed to star in?
I restored a 44 GPW. They don't go 60 or 65.
Mine does on the Motorway
Can’t wait to see these videos!!!!!!
Anyone know ways to stream full episodes online? I watched all the ones on YT! also what movie was this for?
Its a one eyed willy !! 😁
65mph... maybe downhill with a tailwind and running on 100 octane AVGAS with overinflated tyres and the wind screen down
Johnny Rossman
You’re forgetting that those engines are far from factory new
No mention of the original BRC-40, Bantam Recon Car which was the original “Jeep” accepted by the US Army in 1940. These were limited in production due to the small size of the Bantam Auto Company.
no mention of a 2018 jeep either......smh

Beautiful
There's no way the other twin had no idea about the Pink Panthar Landrovers as anyone who is into Military vehicles as much as these two would be more than familiar with them
It's a bit of TV drama !
Silly Drama to a Military Enthusiast
Anybody know the name of the movie?
65 MPH? Good luck. I've owned a 44 GPW and downhill with a tailwind never got it faster than 53.
Right I have one with the over drive and can barely do 55
Mine does 65 mph on the Motorway
That Jeep is prolly so heavy with all that repro armor and weapons it can prolly manage 30 mph

They cut the grill bars out to save weight for long range work / patrols.
That was to allow better Airflow to the Radiator
@@sinistercharger correct
What fild was this for
I like it Too. Greetings from Germany
The BlackBrickStudios would you by any chance have a Tiger 1H in your backyard, just asking
Daniel Broz no actually not. But it would be very cool
But actually it would be very hard to arichive this, because of denazification laws for symbols and stuff ( sadly a Tiger I would be a Part of it)😢

Mountbatten pink is correct. Why paint it green? Nuts.
It's missing a headlight? XD
The driver's side is a black-out headlight for operations behind enemy lines.
Do a Google image search for "Special Air Service jeep northwest Europe", and you'll see that having one headlight covered over was pretty common.
Headlight is enemy of special op. Especially at night time ops.
I watched a video recently of six men assembling a jeep and driving away in under 4 min.
whats the song at 2:02
a Japanese soldiers said that is samurai warriors to
tan beret is awesome who dares wins
Here's the real Worldwar two story: video "The Swiss Beast - Home of the Devil".
So what "Hollywood movie" ? And why is it called a Hollywood movie if it's in the UK?
Should have made it desert tan.
No not green it's olive drab
What movie and when does it come out
it was in the American film called Fury.
@@cuhuba really? Where?
There was no sas Jeep in fury.
Good conversion, but RIP to the original British Airborne jeep which was butchered in the process ;( 1 like = 1 prayer
Twin Lewis guns? Not Vickers.
NO Vickers K guns. They just looked like Lewis guns because of the Top Drum mag.
OHHHHH, getting a Jeep "Camera Ready" Got it. My Engrish teechurs spwinnng in theur gwaves.
Its still got the American stars on
those were used by all allied units in the European theater. not just American.
that's also why you will see Centurian MkIIIs with white stars in Korea.
Used on all Allied vehicles for the invasion of western Europe. For operation 'Overlord' and there after.
Willys is pronounced Willis. This is the way it was pronounced by John Willys and by the Chrysler Corporation.
Well who knew, thats where the monty python team got their idea about the gay army unit, it was the SAS in their pink jeeps
The US made 500,000 interchangeable 50 caliber machineguns during WW2!
Yes but our British modifications are better.
i want a willys :(
Pinkies!
The main guy in this show is a bit like Thrush.........really irritating!
That was a bit disappointing.
S.A.S JEEP NEVER BEING USE IN THE FAR EAST
Dislike. Did not drive it
The ridiculous pieces to camera spoil it. Stupid "reality" format...
Damn these people talk funny.most mouth movement ever.
Just remember if not for us yankees you Brits would be speaking German
lol we beat them at the channel but I suppose u can only dream on chap ;)
I think you mean Russians
If it wasn't for the Brits there never would have been a United States of America.
@@minuteman4199
Ya they would have
@@mattsprayberry0 Are you familiar with the history of the United States?
That brit is so annoying. Makes this unwatchable he whines too much.
We live in fucking Britain. The only thing we know how to do anymore is complain. And complain we shall!
He's no worse than some of the Drama you have on U.S Car shows
