Without the help of Mr. Theo Stolz of the CJ works at Tramelan we certainly would not have been able to reconstruct the history of this vehicle, given that we had no information about it's history prior to it's arrival on the RVT on the 30th June 1978 and that these vehicles were built by various manufacturers.

This vehicle has served as a store for spare parts since it's arrival on the RVT in 1978. It has also been victim to vandals.

It's restoration was planned and one of the compartments was gutted to create a large enough  room to contain a table and a bar … in accordance with current wishes.

The two photos above allow you to see what sort of wreck we were left with.
