The Appeal
In order to jazz-up the CJ5, Jeep introduced the Laredo edition, with special graphics, lashings of chrome and a premium leather interior. Its makers recognised the burgeoning trend for so-called 'sports utility vehicles' (SUVs), with people buying 4x4s for leisure, rather than simply to do a job.
This 1981 example stands out as it has been professionally restored by an official Jeep dealership, with documentation to prove the quality of work.
With just 4,000 km covered since its comprehensive restoration, this represents an opportunity to acquire a well-presented classic Jeep that combines vintage appeal with reliable usability.
