Description
Ford GPW Military Jeep | Genuine WWII Vehicle | UK Road Registered | Extensive History | An exceptional opportunity to acquire a genuine 1942 Ford GPW Military Jeep, one of the most iconic vehicles of the Second World War and an increasingly sought-after collector’s vehicle.
This Jeep is fully UK road registered and supplied with its V5C registration document. It is registered in the Historic Vehicle taxation class and recorded as a 1942 Ford GPW. The dashboard data plate displays serial number GPW4499 and a Date of Delivery of 16 April 1942, supporting the vehicle’s wartime origins. Finished in traditional military olive drab with period-style U. S. Army markings, the Jeep presents extremely well and attracts attention wherever it goes. It is fitted with a canvas hood, rear passenger seating, spare wheel and a fully operational 12-volt war siren, all adding to its authenticity and character.
Mechanically, the Jeep starts easily, runs well, drives as it should and stops confidently. It is ready to be enjoyed immediately, whether for shows, commemorative events, military displays or weekend use. One of the highlights of this vehicle is its exceptional history file. Included are a large collection of invoices, receipts and maintenance records dating from approximately 2012 onwards, documenting continuous expenditure with recognised military Jeep specialists including Universal Jeep Supplies, Jeeparts UK and other specialist suppliers. The file covers engine components, bearings, seals, gaskets, steering parts, electrical components, gauges, military-correct restoration items, paint, stencils and ongoing servicing.
Also included is the original Mathewsons auction invoice and payment receipt from June 2020, showing the vehicle was purchased for £20, 500 plus buyer’s premium (£22, 330 total), providing excellent documented provenance.
