The Jeep Willys is no longer to present. It will remain the most emblematic vehicle of the Second World War, it is the myth and the symbol of the liberation. The Americans arrived with it, won and we received it as a gift. These examples equipped the French army, but the number was clearly insufficient, and it was Hotchkiss that manufactured a series of approximately 27,000 examples under licence in its Stains factory until 1966, under the name M201. It remained in the French army until the end of the 1990s.
The example for sale is one of these "Jeeps" manufactured by Hotchkiss under the M201 type for the French army.
It is a very healthy car and does not show any corrosion. It is equipped with a shovel and an axe on the left side and the bonnet is in very good condition.
Almost 12,000 euros were spent on the Jeep in 2012.
A "jeep" is much more than just a car: it is probably the most famous and mythical vehicle in the world. It was used for over fifty years in the army and is still capable of performing many services in civilian life. Simply efficient, it is a vehicle universally recognised for all its intrinsic qualities.
