Thats not just another jeep, its a Willys MA. One of the rarest prototypes. The clue is the WILLYS infront of the radiator/between the head lights.

From memory, there were only 1500 (+/- depending on who you ask i think!) made.

A few have been foundin australia in unrestored condition, i dont know how they got here as the americans say there were never any sent- maybe they got left behind/bought in from the islands. There also a few which i understand have been imported- one out of hawaii, and a few bought in from the states.

Cheers,
Ian.
