The Appeal
Considered by many to be the most well recognised military vehicle of all time, the Willys Jeep rose to prominence during world war two. Lightweight, reliable, versatile, robust and capable of traversing the worst terrain, it’s easy to see why the Jeep was so successful.
This Jeep was purchased by a relative of the current owner in the 1970’s and has been fully restored over a number of years to bring it into the condition it’s in today. Not only is the Jeep itself in fantastic condition, but it comes with a very rare and fully restored trailer. The trailer has been kept highly original as has the jeep during the restoration. The pair match perfectly and present an opportunity not to be missed.

The Mechanics
- Extensively restored around ten years ago
- Starts easily and idles well

- The owner reports that it drives exactly as it should
- The vendor informs us that three of the leaf springs are original and on is uprated to account for the weight of the offset engine, the original is included in the sale
- Engine bay and underside (including the trailer) presents extremely well
- Whilst the restoration isn’t well documented even a casual glance underneath or in the engine bay shows many new parts
- Correct 6 volt electrical system
- The vendor reports that it has a complete new wiring loom fitted
As with the rest of this jeep the mechanical aspects present excellently. It’s easy to see when looking underneath or into the engine bay just how thorough the restoration was. All of the axles, suspension components, prop shafts, bump stops, brake pipes etc present excellently.
The Jeep starts easily and idles smoothly with no unwanted noises and the owner reports that it drives exactly as it should with the high and low range working perfectly. It uses the correct 6 volt system and the vendor has told us that it has had a complete new wiring loom fitted. The jeep has an uprated front leaf spring fitted to account for the extra load on one side from the offset engine and the original one is included with the Jeep should you wish to re-temper it.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
