UPDATE: **SOLD** Was $8500. 

Seller would prefer to sell locally.

“Hood numbers match frame serial. (I have another hood who’s number match the engine’s serial(I’m keeping that one.))
New Tub in 2008.
New wiring loom in 2008.
Gets new paint every few years.
Engine rebuilt in 2010 (hardened exhaust valves installed)
Canvas seats ~2005, still in very good condition.
Transmission rebuilt in 2004, (still pops out of 2nd if it feels crabby).
I never had the original bows and have not purchased a top or new bows.
Engine runs strong, needs a new radiator core.
Running with a solex carb but I have the original carter.
Electric fan installed on radiator to make parades while pulling a trailer a little less exciting (switch is hidden in glove box.)
Extra Paint/Parts go with the vehicle (except some original parts I have hanging on the wall in my shop.

It’s been an on and off project for long number of years, I just need the space for other projects. Anymore it comes out for parades and the odd trip to get ice cream.
I’d rather not ship.
Prefer to sell “locally” so I can meet the new family.”

Seller has priced this jeep at an unusually high price. This reflects the fact that the jeep was given to Eisenhower by the people of Scotland. Certainly it makes this jeep an unusual historical vehicle.

“IN A PRIVATE COLLECTION FOR NEARLY 40 YEARS AND RESTORED SYMPATHETICLY TO ITS ORIGINAL CONDITION INC ITS LEATHER SEATS PRESENTED TO GENERAL EISENHOWER IN OCT 1946 ALONG WITH AN APPARTMENT IN CULZEAN CASTLE ON THE WEST COAST OF SCOTLAND FOR HIS LIFETIME USE. THIS WAS BY WAY OF THANKS FROM THE PEOPLE OF SCOTLAND FOR HIS HELP AND SUPPORT DURING WORLD WAR TWO.

I HAVE FULL PROVENANCE WITH THIS JEEP BY WAY OF LETTERS FROM THE GENERAL AND HIS AID AND ALSO FROM THE NATIONAL TRUST OF SCOTLAND WHO BOUGHT THE JEEP FOR HIM . I HAVE A FILE FULL OF PAPERWORK AND PHOTOS TO SUBSTANTIATE THESE FACTS.

ANYBODY WHO IS INTERESTED SHOULD CONTACT THE OWNER DIRECT WHO IS MY BROTHER DAVID HOWES. WHERE HE LIVES IN A SMALL VILLAGE IN BUCKINGHAMSHIRE HAS NO BROADBAND SO YOU MUST TELEPHONE HIM ON 01144 1525240497 OR MOBILE No 01144 7836208477 . SERIOUS ENQUIRIES ONLY PLEASE

“Up for sale is my 1942 Willys MB Jeep. These WWII Jeeps are gaining in popularity and have become one of the “the must buy” affordable collector vehicles. I picked up this Jeep from the Northern reaches of the Bay Area where it had been parked for years due to a bad valve. Since acquiring the Jeep, I have addressed all the major issues to make this Jeep an extremely reliable cruiser. In fact, I drive it all the time to do local errands and to attend local car shows.
