Description from the seller
Jeep Willys Hotchkiss M201
The Hotchkiss M201 is the French-built variant of the iconic Willys GP (Jeep), produced under license for the French military with original gun turret mount
These rugged machines have long been favourites among enthusiasts for their simplicity, character, and potential for modification. Known affectionately as 'Wicked Willy', this particular example has been comprehensively transformed from its military origins into a V8-powered machine with serious off-road capability.
At its heart sits a Land Rover V8 rebuilt to 4.2 specification, paired with a four-speed gearbox with overdrive and a transfer case offering selectable two or four-wheel drive.

The body was resprayed in Gloss Olive Drab and reconditioned in 2019, with the original chassis restored and protected underneath, condition is excellent

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
