Bought a 1942 ex-USAF Willys MB from a scrap yard for £25 in 1964. Fitted a new battery and clutch, and I ran it for a year without problems before selling it for £75 when I was posted overseas to Borneo. Bought a Rolls Royce engined Austin "Champ" when I came home, which was a much superior vehicle, but never forgot the old Willys Jeep that I cut my motoring teeth on. Still into 4x4s even now, fifty years later.
