Bazooool

thats proberbly why the price of these mahindra jeeps have gone up in price, as a few years back you couldnt give `em away

thought i`d put this thread in the " i may be.............." bit

ive used the search wotsit but nothing came up to answer my questions, so here goes................

• if one bought a mahindra jeep, just how close will the body of, say a CJ2a fit onto the chassis & accept the running gear ? assuming Id keep the derv engine, box /4wd stuff & maybe altering the dash of the older body to accept RHD workings
  

OR

baring in mind i feel the mahindra jeep looks to high, sim` to the CJ 3b. is it possible to just use the front end from the dash onwards of an earlier CJ to achieve the same effect ?

It does look Cj3a ish..................maybe with none-embossed "willys" script bonnet fitted ?

front bumber also looks wider

.....................difficult !

Hi All

can you have a look at the pics as im scratching my head over what particular model this is as the owner seems a little vague in his description

the drop down tail gate says CJ2a ? as does the grill / headlights

cant make out the size of the screen .could be CJ3a ?

theres no embossed "willys" logo on either the bonnet sides or the rear tailgate, no sure on the screen but owner says not

..........repro body ?

its currently on ebay with the description as "Military" possibly due to its colour

also

odd gear lever ?..........recessed instruments on dash ?

thoughts ?.........................

=wrecker;338893] i hadnt got rid of all my rotten jeep bodies i would be welding them to mahindra chassis as fast as the auctions would take em.

Is that possible ?

(Im new) :-\

Thanks for all the very good advice

Just to clarify ...........im not looking to import myself but looking to buy from one of the dealers that do, so it seems the all important thing is title deeds/paperwork & maybe something to say theres no duty to be paid on it

Thanks once again

Hello to all.

I have a few questions I’d like to ask & all advice is much appreciated

Situation – I’m looking for a decent Willys Jeep although I’d prefer a CJ version (not 3b & onwards)

I’ve been looking on e-bay, classic car sites, milweb etc to gauge the models available & prices etc

I notice a few sites/traders etc are importing items from various places – few come with an mot & most need work which is ok by me if the price reflects this

With the possibility of these importers stripping said vehicles down to squeeze in a cargo crate. Are there any pitfalls I need to be aware of in relation to the possibility of any vehicle “appearing” on these shores, in relation to tax duty to be paid when I try & eventually register the vehicle ? & Any costs ?

I would have thought that who ever I buy the vehicle from if not already registered in the UK would supply me with paperwork to say the import duty is paid, but would I expect the same paperwork if its been declared as “spares” ?

I ask this as I seem to recall some years ago different taxation/duty costs for spares, against a full vehicle?

Also – age related plates………..any problems here ? As I don’t want to be issued with a Q plate

I’m sure there’s a simple answer to all this – all advice much appreciated

Thanks

Big hello to all on here, ive been reading these pages recently with some interest & i have one or two questions i`d like to ask

Hoping for some advice to avoid making expensive mistakes

(see registration etc thread section)

Many thanks :-)
