I have been drooling over photos of old Willys for over a decade now and have visited/ spoken to innumerable 'dealers' but have now realised that getting hold of an original is next to impossible. However now I feel like buying a 'put together' look alike.

Can anyone recommend a reliable dealer who does good work and could build a jeep similar to the original in terms of the look ?

Thanks

Fresh out of the box phrase was coined then?

Not sure if shared earlier, this picture of Prince Philip is doing the round on social media.

Superb, this has gone viral on Instagram with many posting it.

Stumbled upon this beauty in a parking lot in Hyderabad. So well kept. Cheers to the enthusiast who owns it. Bonus points for noticing the firmly stowed shovel

Also Moga, Punjab, but you'll need to be there, to check and decide.

All the best.
