1945 Willys MB Jeep, 2,200 cc. Registration number YVL 535 (non transferrable). Chassis number MB 417508. Engine number MB 558311. The Willys MB U.S. Army Jeep and the Ford GPW Jeep were manufactured from 1941 to 1945. These small four-wheel drive utility vehicles are considered the iconic World War II Jeep and inspired many similar light utility vehicles. With America enduring difficult economic times, the U.S. Army instigated a program to modernise its fleet with a 'general purpose, personnel or cargo carrier' especially adaptable for reconnaissance and command; designated as a ¼-tonne, 4x4 truck the Ford Motor Company, American Bantam (originally American Austin) and Willys-Overland Motors all competed for the government contract and Bantam were the initial winners of the bid. However, the U.S. government were keen on standardisation and Willys' production capacity eventually won them the contract, based on the Bantam but with its own more powerful "Go Devil" engine. Towards the end of 1941, Willys' facilities couldn't keep up with demand so Ford were contracted to produce the Jeep under licence in addition through to the end of World War II. Willys produced over 300,000 Jeeps and Ford over 250,000 units. Ford assembled Jeeps were recognizable by their pressed steel grilles as opposed to the Willys' slat style grille and there are several other subtle differences, Fords also have their components marked with the letter 'F', although they are completely interchangeable mechanically. According to the Ordnance Department plate on the dash, YVL was produced in March of 1945, but probably would not have been used in the theatre of war although it could have found use on a military base in the USA. Nothing is known of its early history, although in 2007 it was owned by a Jeffrey Quirin of Patagonia, Arizona, USA. In March 2014 it was imported by Mike Deacon of AMD Four Wheel Drive Ltd and sold to our vendor who has enjoyed many WWII displays with it along with his collection of WWII motorcycles. It is only being sold as his collection has taken a different turn. Sold with the V5C, NOVA certificate and other paperwork, this MB should need very little doing to make a fun addition to any collection.
