The Appeal
The Humvee is the stuff of legend. An icon of the US military, these towering wide-bodied utility vehicles inspired a generation of civilian SUVs. As you'd expect from the American army, there's nothing here that's subtle - it's a wide-bodied personnel carrier with the roaring character and tank-like build quality you'd need for some of the most difficult environments in the world.
This 1989 example of the M998 offers the rare opportunity to own an authentic piece of military hardware that has been thoughtfully converted for civilian road use. What makes this particular Humvee special is its comprehensive body-off restoration, a few years ago by the last owner, and the fact that it comes with a street-legal USA title along with all European import documentation.
The vehicle has been tastefully upgraded with 22-inch powder-coated rims, aggressive 40-inch off-road tires, and a host of mechanical improvements that enhance both its appearance and functionality.
