1943 MB “Ike’s Jeep” Shefford, UK eBay

• CATEGORIES: MB • TAGS: , This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

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

This one is worth a look. Lots of eyeballs watching this auction.

“I am relisting this Jeep with a Buy it Now instead of a reserve. There are 2 original Solid Rims and the original Axe holder which are now pictured and included in the sale. No Axe. Also I will ship the Jeep world wide. Cost to Europe is about $2500 For US buyers I can bring it into Washington State and you can take it from there. For all the on off I have dropped the price slightly also..

This is Willys MB120181… Original 1942 Slat Grill. The jeep is in excellent condition. Runs and drive perfectly. All Gauges and electrical work perfectly.

Motor is strong and runs as it should. Starts up all the time with no hesitation or problems. No Smoke ever. Rest of the drivetrain is perfect.

The body is totally rust free. The data plates are original and the chasis number matches the number plate on the left side frame bumper extension.

It was a full off body restoration. The engine was completely rebuilt and drivetrain also. The rear seat was not restored as it is the original seat and canvas from 1942

This is not a reproduction tub on this Jeep.. It was built/restored before tubs were available. I did confirm this with the past owner.. Panels and metal were used to repair any rust etc then”

I will say the motor fits nicely. But, the resale value would have been far better, and the install price cheaper, if they’d just rebuilt a flathead.

Includes hard to find pto drive (not installed) Sold on a bill of sale already had WSP inspection done and submitted to DOL. Started off life as a farm vehicle never licensed or taken on the road.”

“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.

Work done within the last year:
– Engine valve to replace the one that had cracked
– Head gasket
– Head studs
– Original WWII head checked and restored
– Oil pump
– Distributor
– Points
– Plug wires
– Plugs
– Coil
– Cross over tube and intake hose
