1942 Willys MB Jeep – Very Original with Exceptional WWII Provenance
Price: £19500 ono
Registration: UK Registered 1989 Historic Vehicle
An exceptional opportunity to own a highly authentic, UK-registered 1942 Willys MB Jeep boasting a rare and fully documented history. This vehicle features an original chassis and body tub, combined with an excellent mechanical pedigree and a wealth of period accessories.
Fascinating WWII & Post-War Provenance
Unlike many wartime Jeeps with lost histories, this example comes with verified, traceable provenance.
• Spent World War II in active service within the United States.
• Sold in 1946 at a Camp Blanding, Florida army surplus sale specifically for demobbed servicemen.
• Currently marked up in a striking D-Day Airborne livery but still retains its original wartime hood number.
Premium Mechanical Condition & Upgrades
• Engine: Legendary 'Go-Devil' engine, which underwent a meticulous, top-tier full rebuild 4 years ago at a cost of £12,000—fully backed by a comprehensive receipt file.
• Drivetrain: The gearbox, transfer box, and differentials all operate smoothly and exactly as they should.
• Electricals: Converted to a reliable 12V system. It starts effortlessly and runs incredibly well.
Body, Wheels & Authenticity
• Structure: Highly desirable original chassis and original body tub.
• Period Details: Fitted with authentic wartime combat rims.
• Historical Notes: A post slat grille and a rear fuel can holder were added during its working life. The rear script panel was also replaced during a past restoration.
• I have kept the Jeep in the condition that it would have actually been in the field or training. The paintwork has patina and I think it looks amazing with the dents and dinks in it rather than a sterile full panel rebuild.
Comprehensive Extras & Spares Included
This Jeep is being sold as a complete package, perfect for shows, reenactments, or touring:
• Standard canvas roof
• Full winter canvas roof
• Rear bustle rack
• Period-correct pioneer tools (axe and shovel)
• A large assortment of spare parts to accompany the sale
