Willy's MB slat grille jeep

This is a very early jeep built by Willy's which is indicated by a slat rather than a pressed grille. It was supplied to the Canadian army who then passed it on to the British army. It was used as a radio jeep by the Tyne Tees Regiment and is fitted with a 1942 No 19 MIC 11 Radio Set. I purchased the jeep from a fellow military vehicle enthusiast.
