Highlights

• Just 52,130 miles from new
• Very well looked after and beautifully presented
• Garaged and used very sparingly in current ownership

The Appeal

The History and Paperwork

• Acquired by the vendor in 2014, following a long search for a smart, low mileage example
• We’re informed that it spent around 10 years as holiday home transport in Gozo where the dry climate proved very beneficial to its preservation
• It returned to the UK shortly before the vendor purchased it in 2014
• Reportedly garaged throughout current ownership which has clearly paid dividends
• The vendor has only covered around 3,000 miles during their ownership
• The current indicated mileage is supported by the MOT history
• V5C present and records two former keepers
• Current MOT valid until September 2023
• There’s a collection of invoices from past work and servicing
• Original book pack present

The Interior

• The previous owner apparently fitted a new sound bar and plastic mats throughout the cabin
• Bestop seat covers have reportedly done a good job of keeping the original seats in nice condition since 2000
• There is some slight wear in a few areas, but nothing at all excessive for a vehicle of this age
• The dashboard remains in very good order and does not appear to be damaged
• We’re informed that all the electrics work correctly and the instrumentation appears in good shape
• All the carpeting looks really smart for its age
• Equipped with a Panasonic stereo with cassette deck

The Exterior 

• It’s hard to believe this Jeep is now 24 years old, as it’s incredibly smart from every angle
• The previous owner apparently fitted a new canvas hood and side screens and they remain in really good condition
• Distinctive Pacific Blue paintwork presents really well
• The vendor points out a couple of superficial marks on the bonnet and one of the wheel arches, but this is not especially noticeable
• We’re informed that the underside is treated with Waxoyl and at a glance it appears incredibly smart, with no corrosion visible
• Fitted with a tow bar and trailer electrics
• No signs of accident damage or past repair work
• Sits upon attractive five-spoke alloys which are not kerbed or showing signs of deterioration
• The white lettered BF Goodrich tyres really suit the car and are reportedly in excellent shape
• All of the trims and bumpers present immensely well and the same can be said for the glass and light lenses

The Mechanics 

• 4.0-litre petrol straight-six
• Five-speed manual gearbox
• Four-wheel drive
• Equipped with a K&N air filter by the previous owner
• New battery fitted in 2022
• The vendor informs us that the Jeep always starts first time and runs well and drives nicely, with no faults to report
• These Wrangler TJs are very capable off-road vehicles, but are also surprisingly civilised on the road too, making them very usable
