Description
Wartime genuine Willy’s
Jeep; includes the rifle carrier, axe and spade; still in the American army
livery; good oil pressure
First registered in 1942, this
iconic wartime Jeep is powered by a 2,200cc petrol engine coupled to the
desirable manual T90 transmission. Finished in period Army Green, it is offered
with just two former keepers recorded since being imported and registered in
September 2020.
The Jeep is presented complete
with military accessories including a spade, axe and rifle holder, adding
greatly to its authentic WWII appearance. While on site for photography and a
short video, it was reported to start, run, drive and stop as expected, with
good oil pressure showing.
The vendor advises that the
chassis is in good condition with very little corrosion, although some minor
welding is required to the front floor along with two small outriggers;
replacement sections for these are included with the
vehicle.
The odometer is currently
showing 1,246 miles, although this figure cannot be verified. Unfortunately,
much of the Jeep’s earlier history has been lost over the years, but its overall
condition suggests it has been well cared for and enjoyed by previous owners for
many years.
A highly evocative piece of
military motoring history, this Willys Jeep offers an excellent opportunity for
collectors, reenactors or enthusiasts seeking a genuine wartime vehicle with
strong visual presence and usable mechanical
condition.
