There was one at the Wheelsday show near Guildford on Friday. Not for sale, but I loved the "woody" treatment. Weren't these used as taxis in Vietnam after the 'Nam war?

Yep and also in places like the Philippines where they are called Jeepneys. The American military used to leave a lot of stuff behind when they pulled out.

Does it have to be a Willys ? There are a couple of Mahindras on ebay at the moment. Indian copies of the CJ3 I think.
