This vehicle was also used once before by the US Army.

What does the Willys Jeep have in common with Steve McQueen ? Both were military veterans before they became cultural icons.

The Jeep in question was purchased by the man himself straight from the U.S. Armed Services. It was then sold to the U.S. four years later, in 1984. It was purchased by the current owner shortly thereafter, making it a rare piece of automotive history with four owners. Although the owners of the first two cars were very serious, not many cars this old have been sold so often.

At the current rate of exchange, the car will be sold at Silverstone Auctions’ Classic Motor Show sale in Birmingham. It is expected to fetch between PS80,000 and PS100,000.

McQueen’s Jeep, despite its service history or, should we say, history in the service, is in perfect condition thanks to a thorough restoration. The vehicle also includes a lot of papers and documents that prove its provenance. It also has a plaque that indicates who it once belonged to.

The listing states that taxes have been paid in the UK and EU for the item. Anyone who buys it will be able take it on the road. There will likely be additional taxes for the U.S.

The car was purchased by the current owner at the Steve McQueen Estate Auction in Las Vegas, November 24-25, 1984. Although it seems like a low price for an iconic car that has superstar appeal, the actual cost was approximately ten times as much as a Willys.

It’s been an exciting year for big green McQueen cars. After more than three decades of hiding , the exact car McQueen drove in Bullitt was finally revealed in January. McQueen did not own the car but, like the Jeep, he tried to get it several times.
