THE MILITARY VEHICLE TRUST
Hello and welcome to the website of the Military Vehicle Trust, the MVT.
We are now officially, the worlds Oldest and Largest Military Vehicle club.
We are a charitable organisation dedicated to the conservation of ex military vehicles.
Our members look after and restore the whole range of ex military vehicles with both UK and overseas origins.
Vehicles include the well known Jeep through to tanks, transporters, lorries, Land Rovers, motorbikes, the humble folding bicycle and range from pre First World War to the present day.
You can contact the MVT by telephone using our call handling service Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm.
Simply call 0333 321 8977 and select an option to leave a message for one of our Officers.
LOCAL AREAS
There are 36 plus local Areas, please see the interactive map to find one close to you, which hold informal monthly meetings that provide a forum for members to discuss just about any topic they want. Wherever you are, you can be sure there is another member who can help or who knows someone who can. Local areas organise social events, outings and local shows.
EX-SERVICES
As many of our members are ex-services, there are close ties with ex-servicemen's associations. In particular many areas have close involvement with the Royal British Legions Poppy appeal with members and their vehicles supporting the collection points.
EDUCATION
MVT members pay particular attention to the authenticity of vehicles, equipment and displays. Our events are of educational value for members of the public and we try to ensure that the younger generations are aware of our heritage and the debt we owe to all branches of the armed forces. All members are proud of the standard of their vehicles and this is reflected in the frequent requests for vehicles for film and TV work.
NEW EVENTS
The MVT and its Members attend and organise a variety of shows both big and small across the U.K., see our Events Calendar, and even into Europe with this years 75th D Day Tour back to the beaches where it all happened in some of the vehicles who actually landed there in 1944 for real! We are extremely proud as a registered charity to help and support our veterans in returning to the beaches on which they fought for our freedom and the freedom of the whole of Europe in 1944 - 1945. By our presence with the vehicle we cherish we help to educate and inform the people who attend about what happened there 75 years ago and the debt of gratitude we owe to all who fought for us to be free today.
