The Appeal
The Willys M38A1 is one of the iconic post-war American military vehicles. It notably served as a light utility vehicle within the United States armed forces during the 1950s and 1960s. Its simple and robust design has allowed it to maintain a special place amongst military vehicle collectors.
This 1956 example was imported from the United States and has belonged to its current owner since approximately 2020. It is now registered in France with a classic vehicle registration document and matching serial numbers according to information provided. Presented in a slate-blue configuration with grey interior, it displays a patina and signs of use consistent with its age. The seller indicates that the vehicle starts and runs correctly. New tyres and a battery have recently been fitted.image.png1.56 MB

This sale is subject to Car & Classic's terms and conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also accept the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller, which means that consumer rights arising from European consumer protection legislation do not apply. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic's terms and conditions.
✓ We require that non-refundable fees are paid if you are the successful winner of the auction or if your offer is accepted. Please refer to our FAQs and terms and conditions for specific rates.
✓ This vehicle is "sold as seen", on an "as is, where is" basis and without warranty. Photos and descriptions are provided for guidance only and it is customary to carry out a full inspection of the vehicle before purchase for your own peace of mind.
✓ VAT is included in the buyer's deposit. VAT may or may not be included in the final offer or bid price, as specified in the listing.
✓ We want the transaction to run smoothly, just as you do, which is why cars and motorcycles registered in the United Kingdom and listed for sale on Car & Classic are subject to an HPI check to verify that they have no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and are not subject to a financial charge, allowing you to bid with confidence.
✓ We also check whether vehicles are registered as written off as a result of a total loss claim at the time the listing is placed on Car & Classic and we provide write-off category markers (Cat C/D/S/N) to assist you. The presence or absence of a marker does not, however, guarantee the vehicle's status and it is always worthwhile to carry out a full vehicle history check before making an offer on it.
✓ Buyers are responsible for collection or delivery of the vehicle. Importing vehicles may incur additional customs duties and import taxes. If you wish, we can recommend a third-party transport company that can assist you. For further details and to speak to the team, please email auctions@carandclassic.com.
