M201 - Sahara evidence / évidente
|
If the windscreen frame on your
M201 includes one of these curious brackets then the windscreen
once belonged to an M201 Sahara model. (photo - Steve Carr)
Before you get too excited about this discovery, the majority of Sahara jeeps were converted to other uses when no longer required for use in North Africa and most have also been subsequently rebuilt. As part of the La Maltounee rebuilding process windscreens inevitably ended up mounted on the body of a different jeep so the presence of a Sahara windscreen does not necessarily indicate a Sahara origin for the whole jeep. It is worth checking the rest of the vehicle though for other tell tale signs illustrated on the page about Tim Tearl's M201. The purpose of the bracket on the windscreen assembly was to mount an adjustable spotlight. |
