As the most iconic military vehicle of the Second World War, the Willys Jeep is a sought-after and essential collector’s item today. As stated in the brand’s records, chassis 411860 left the factory on the 30th January 1945, although its collector’s registration document mistakenly states that the first registration was done in July 1944. This Jeep benefited from a full restoration by the museum team: the chassis, with its original serial number plate, was restored, as well as the running gear, including the differentials. Too damaged, the bodywork was replaced by a new one, which included the replacement of all seals and the upholstery. The hood was also completely redone, as well as the electrical circuit in cotton thread, as per the original configuration. The engine was of course dismantled and rebuilt. Rims have been fitted with 5 new tyres and we’ve noticed the presence of a gun holder behind the windshield. The serial number plate on the dashboard is new, and has a mistake: 411660 stamped instead of 411860. This superb Jeep was visibly not driven (or very little) since this major work and its new owner will be able to take advantage of that.

Please note all vehicles in this collection have barely been used in recent years, they are therefore sold as is, with no technical inspection; They will also need a major service before getting back on the road.
