Description
• Formerly in service with the United States Navy • Present ownership since 2021 • Previous ownership for 20 years • Service bills for the last 20 years available Although forever associated with Willys-Overland, the original Jeep was developed by American Bantam.
Designed to meet the US Army's requirement for a rugged, go-anywhere, four-wheel-drive vehicle capable of surviving on the barest minimum of un-skilled maintenance, Bantam's prototype Jeep was up and running by 1940.
The Pentagon, though, doubted the firm's ability to meet the military's post-Pearl Harbour demands, so the major contracts went to Willys and Ford.
Produced by the million, the Jeep saw service in every theatre of the Second World War and continued in military service for several decades thereafter.
Willys-Overland's final production version was the Model MB, Ford's being designated the Model GPW.
Today the Jeep remains highly sought after by discerning military vehicle enthusiasts.
