The Appeal

Get yourself apocalypse-ready with this iconic American 4x4. It goes without saying that these cars have a commanding presence; a military-bred machine that offers a driving experience quite unlike anything else. Originally imported from the Netherlands, this 1976 example is now registered on UK plates and is road tax/MOT exempt due to age.

The 'ODD' number plate is most apt, because this Humvee is a very rare sight on UK roads. It's something a bit out of the ordinary, even for a Humvee. The vendor explains:

"This Hummer / Humvee is a bit of a one-off. Underneath is a 1976 Dodge W200 Pickup Chassis with a Military Humvee / Hummer Body professionally fitted to it. It’s fitted with a 5.2 V8 Dodge Chrysler engine, which runs smoothly, sounds the business, and performs well! The Vehicle was previously at the Zandvoort Race Circuit in the Netherlands and was used around the Circuit to transport Racing drivers. It has race harnesses fitted to the back seats.

"One of the good things about this Hummer is that it is registered as Historic (1976 Dodge), so it is MOT exempt, and Tax is free. It is also lighter than a normal Hummer, so it can be transported on a car trailer to shows, etc. It’s a lot of fun and makes a beautiful V8 noise. Perfect to play around with and take to shows etc."

The vendor, who bought the vehicle from a friend earlier this year, reports it is in good overall condition and mechanically sound. It wears a patina of age that suits its rugged purpose. Described as great fun to drive, this Humvee is reportedly ready to be enjoyed.
