Lot details Registration No: 635 YUD Chassis No: MB209739 Mot Expiry: Exempt
'635 YUD' was imported from the rust-free environment of California and treated to a programme of sympathetic restoration in 2010. Some 95 per cent of the Toldeo USA steel was retained, and the 2.5-litre four-cylinder Willy's engine fully overhauled with new pistons, valves and guides and reground crankshaft. The braking system was refurbished, the oil seals in the three-speed manual transmission replaced, and the steering box and wiring renewed. The radiator grille slats were removed in order to emulate the look of the Long Range Desert Group and SAS Jeeps used in North Africa, and the vehicle was duly resprayed in an authentic desert sand colour. In May 2012 it was one of a pair that participated in a re-enactment of the LRDG missions of WWII in Eygpt, during which it successfully covered 2000 miles in harsh desert conditions. In regular use, the Jeep is MOT exempt and taxed until December.
All successful bids must be paid in full by midday the day after the auction at the latest.
