History: The following information has kindly been supplied by the current owners Claire Reid and Craig Bagley. "The vehicle was bought by the Swiss Army in Othmarsingen and modified with the Workshop body as was practice with a number of vehicles at the time.
The vehicle was then bought with a number of items and
delivered to Hatfield Aerodrome for the filming of Band of Brothers. The
“mistake” being, that as the vehicle had the later modification of the Swiss
body, it therefore could not be used. It was then decided to “convert” it to a
Mercedes to be used for filming, unfortunately she was never used and sold
(minus a carburettor when the filming finished. The kind gentleman in France
that called me who dealt with the vehicles for the Band of Brothers still has
the missing workshop cabinets from inside the Jimmy in his garage in
France!!!!!!
From there she went to Alan Champan (minus a few parts)
where she was sold and transported to Carlisle by a gentleman who planned to
use her for re-enactments, Unfortunately life took over and after being kept
for a number of years at Solway Aviation Museum she moved on. The gentleman in
Carlisle still has the back door key and has kindly agreed to post it to
me………..
She was then swapped for some aircraft parts and transported
to Herefordshire, where we purchased her a number of years later."
