No. 4 had one on one side only. I have a note somewhere of the others - I think two had the NIR logo. I will delve and report back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nos. 3, 10 & 56 had them - the latter possibly the first to carry it in 1968. No. 4 had it on one side only. It is possible there were others. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
airfixfan Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 Indeed 56 was the first Jeep to carry the NIR logo. Have photos of 56 with the new logo dated 1967. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
