Description

- Part of a large Spanish collection for 20 years

- Imported to UK in April 2014 and recommissioned to roadworthy condition

- Said to "run well" with "very good" body and trim

Long before the ubiquitous Willys Jeep had been conceived, the Willys-Overland Motor Company was a major producer of tough and reliable family automobiles - in fact from 1912 to 1918 only the mighty Ford Motor Company is thought to have produced more cars for the American market. The Overland proved a well-engineered, dependable and versatile design. A strong sales success both at home and abroad, it remained in production until May 1926.

This example, finished in Red and Black with Black interior, had formed part of a private Spanish collection for over twenty years until its acquisition by the vendor who purchased it from the previous owner along with a selection of other cars. Imported to the UK in April 2014, it was subjected to an amount of recommissioning to bring it to proper road worthy condition and used as 'pub' transport on a number of occasions. Said to "run well" with "very good" body and trim, it is only being offered for sale as it does not fit in with the other vehicles in the vendor's collection. Still retaining its Spanish registration plates, it has yet to be UK registered.
