This Jeep Willys, which rolled out of the factory on February 2, 1943, is remarkable in more ways than one. Firstly, it has a clear history that can be traced since 1948. Registered in 1954 by the spinning and weaving company Dolige at Le Mans, it changed hands twice in 1970 to join the collection of an enthusiast of military vehicles. The latter was responsible for ensuring a complete restoration to original specifications in the 1990s, which was confirmed by the mechanic who helped with this restoration. Since then, the car has always been maintained and the restoration has naturally weathered. The other exceptional feature of this vehicle is the number of specific equipment: radio system, siren, tow bar and even a rare capstan for winching operations. Of course, the car comes with a fire extinguisher, tools, as well as ropes, nets, jerrycan and helmet. Finally, a Bantam trailer from the same period comes with the car. In good working order, and conforming to the origin, this well-equipped Jeep represents an exceptional opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts.
