| Distinguished - BHPian   | Sorry if in the wrong place but couldnt find a right thread for this. 'saw this weird looking 'Fiat' Jeep parked here. At first, I was rather skeptical despite it being a LHD but on googling, could conclude that it is a Fiat Campagnola: Fiat: Fiat Jeep Albeit a heavily modified one! Especially the rear, and also the front windscreen.      |

| I saw my first Fiat 1101 Campagnola outside Eros Cinema, Bombay in 1983. It was olive green and all complete. First impression was it was more for show than for go! All Fiat Campagnolas were lighter duty 4x4s than our Mahindra Jeeps. Ref: 18th October 2008, 23:12 http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/intern...ml#post1020622 There were two varieties, a 1.9 litre petrol engined model called the Fiat 1101 Campagnola, and a 1.9 litre diesel engined model called the Fiat 1102 Campagnola. After 1974, the petrol version had a 2 litre engine and was called Fiat 1107 Campagnola. There were also a pair of diesels called Fiat 1107D Campagnola. One was a 2 litre 60 bhp diesel and the other was a 2.5 litre 72 bhp diesel. Ram Before doing a google search, you may like to do a Team-BHP search.  |

There was one in Calangute, Goa which was also modified and rented out. Sure there must be more, at least 10 in India. That is not really much. But why wonder how they came to India? Just like all the other few lots of Wagoneers, Landies, Land Cruisers etc. Someone brought them in under some special category. Perhaps the Goa car was inherited from the Portugese. Cheers harit | ||

2) In fact, there wasn't even a CJ-2A in 1942. They came in 1945. Your Jeep looks like a late Willys CJ-2A to me (1947 or later). Early CJ-2As had a full-floating rear axle. This one has a semi-floating rear axle. CJ-2As were made from 1945 to 1949. OT: I learned to drive on a pristine Willys CJ-2A (foot operated starter button) in Betul MP in Diwali 1966.
