• Benefitting from a recent engine refresh

• Formerly part of private collections
• Offered with the canvas doors

In 1955, under new leadership by Kaiser Industries, Willys Motors began to promote their newest member of the CJ series, the CJ-5, a model that marked a significant departure from the "flat-fender" CJs, with its rounded front fender design and squeezed grille (to accommodate larger headlights). Influenced by the Korean War M38A1 Jeep, the CJ-5 included updates such as rounded fenders, a hood and body made of heavy gauge sheet metal, a larger windshield frame, increased length on the riding springs, form-fitting front adjustable bucket seats, a deeper, back-lit instrument panel, rear seating options for 4 passengers, and a new passenger car type handbrake located to the left of the driver underneath the instrument panel.

Manufactured in 1960 this Kaiser-Jeep is fitted with a 2.2 litre straight-four overhead-value engine mated to the manual gearbox. Presented in Green with Green interior vinyl upholstery, ‘SSL 710’ was imported into the United Kingdom in the year 2000. Formerly part of a private collection on two separate occasions, the Jeep has had just five UK owners from new. Recently the beneficiary of an engine refresh, the CJ-5 is said to be a ‘very original example’. Accompanied by the canvas doors and a current V5C.
