Ian & Cees, To continue this interesting item here something about the 22 Brazilian GPA,s. I know there are still some of these in the collection of Joao Barone's MV-friend in Brazil. Restored & unrestored. A few years ago I got jpeg prints of these collection but they are all gone because o...

It is a small print but maybe for you OK!

Hi Ian, About your 239 British GPA's without a WD number. As far as I remember Bart Vanderveen told me once that the first GPA's in the UK got normal Britsh jeep WD-numbers with an "M" (light truck) instead of a "P" (amphibian). So take a good look in the Imp.War Museum during yo...

Dear Leo,

Thank you very much for your offer.
Sure i will see you in my garage to take a look for the bilge pump parts.

Dear amphib friends, I found a well for brand new - low costs - bearings (SKF, Timken, NSK a.s.o.). For instance, for the GPA (generator, transmission, transfer.case, capstan cluth, p.t.o. a.s.o).
