Manufacturer description

This great little American Willys ¼ ton 4 x 4 army truck was only produced between 1941 and 1945 but it served in a light cross-country reconnaissance role and was used by various Allied Forces. Here it is as used by the RAF, whose distinctive roundel is printed on the bonnet. Decorated in military olive green with white military lettering, the interior is a slightly lighter drab green than the bodywork. Note too, the customary left hand drive feature and the spare wheel on the back.
