P
J Davey & Co are delighted to announce that we are
now importing the fantastic Mitsubishi CJ3B"Willys"
Jeep.
The CJ3B offers all the charm and character of the original
Willys Jeep but with all the reliability of Japanese
mechanicals.
Powered
by a gutsy 2.7 litre Mitsubishi Turbo diesel engine
and linked to a 4 speed manual transmission with low/high
ratios and locked diff selection the CJ3B is built to
the most exacting military standards with huge off road
ability. It is an immensely tough vehicle and will soak
up huge punishment, whether it is on the battlefield
or your local off road course!
Quite
simply, to see one is to want one and with prices starting
from under £4,000 the CJ3B is eminently affordable.
All
our Jeeps are selected with great care and are in terrific
condition, often with minimal mileage.
Every
Jeep includes a comprehensive pre sale service, 12 months
MOT and 6 months road tax.
Try
before you buy! We have a demonstrator Jeep on site
and an off road course for you to try your prospective
vehicle on. The kind of challenging terrain it was designed
for.
The
CJ3B is that special kind of vehicle, possessing a huge
feel good factor. A 4x4 with which you instantly bond
and will come to look upon as one of the family for
years to come.

History.
The Universal Jeep CJ-3B was introduced as a 1953 model
by Willys-Overland, the company which had produced some
360,000 jeeps used during World War 2 and almost as
many civilian Jeeps (CJ's) in the seven years since
the war.
In
1953, Mitsubishi was granted license by Willys to build
it`s world famous Jeep in Japan and production continued
through to 1998 when Mitsubishi announced that production
was to cease. During this time many of Mitsubishi`s
Jeeps were exported to armed forces around the world,
including the USA!
