Seller's Notes

This Willys Jeep is a characterful example of the classic military-oriented 4x4. Power comes from a 2.2-litre L134 ‘Go-Devil’ inline-four, paired with a three-speed Borg-Warner T90 manual transmission. The odometer shows 4,404 miles, though this is not warranted. The lessons learned with the CJ-2 led to the development of the first full-production CJ, the 1945-1949 Willys-Overland CJ-2A, or Universal Jeep. The CJ-2A looked very much like a civilianized MB with a tailgate and side-mounted spare wheel. Up to serial number 13453, the MB-style full floating rear axle was fitted, before being updated to a stronger Dana / Spicer model 41. This example is finished in green, with contrasting white serial numbers and service stars. It rides on a set of 16-inch body-coloured steel wheels, shod in Federal tyres. Equipment includes a folding windscreen, a side-mounted spare wheel and jerry can, and a duplex radio receiver. Accompanying the vehicle will be some receipts and spare parts. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: there is some peeling on the bonnet. During the most recent service, the engine oil, oil filter, clutch, clutch pressure plate, air filter, brakes, brake master cylinder, spark plugs, and battery were replaced. During the seller’s three-year ownership, the fuel pump and a front wheel bearing have also been replaced. This Willys Jeep is a characterful example of the classic military-oriented 4x4, powered by the rugged 2.2-litre L134 ‘Go-Devil’ inline-four. Benefitting from recent clutch, brake, and battery replacements, it would make a fun addition to any collection, and an enjoyable companion for weekend adventures or fair-weather cruising.

This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
