Highlights

Big, bulky and perfect for offroad - the quintessential American 4x4
Deep green paintwork with black leather interior
Valid MOT until February 2024

The Appeal

First introduced in 1983, and surviving in Western markets all the way through to 2001, the second generation of the Jeep Cherokee was an essential step in the modern 4x4’s development, and continues to be one of the most capable off-roaders ever built. Indeed, they were still so in demand that even by the end of American production, they were still churning out of China until 2014.

This example, the Orvis, is a limited production model built exclusively for the British market. The result is smatterings of branding, a nicely appointed interior and a distinguished vibe all of its own. This example carries a fresh MOT, is in good working order and boasts a complete service record.
