The Appeal
Whether you’re looking for a capable off-roader or something retro and fun that you could drive every day, a TJ Jeep Wrangler is a great option and this 1999 example is particularly appealing.
It boasts a powerful 4.0-litre, straight-six petrol engine, sending torque to all four wheels via an automatic gearbox. The hardtop roof is removable, allowing for an enjoyable open-top driving experience and there are also such creature comforts as air conditioning.
The car was imported from Japan in 2000 and has clearly been looked after really well ever since. It remains in very good overall condition and the vendor informs us that it benefits from a recent automatic gearbox service and the fitment of new tyres. Everything is reportedly in good working order, so if you’re after a modern classic Jeep that’s ready to be enjoyed, look no further than this handsome example.
