Re: Rare jeep for sale. Interest poll:
I've never seen whitewall military tires!
To answer your question.
This is very interesting but does have very limited use.
This would be nice fully assembled and displayed at a convention or show but....
If this were close to me and I could consider purchasing it without shipping involved I would be interested.
It looks like you are asking $2000 Euro (about $2500 US dollars)
Is it worth $2,500. Yes. But I'm not sure I would be a buyer.
This will go to someone with a specialized need or use or interest.
If I were selling it I don't think I would take any less than what you are asking.
You will need to do some clever marketing.
Where is this located?
Shipping may be the deal breaker on this for many.
Good luck. Keep us posted.

The tires are painted at some time, not original white wal

Re: Rare jeep for sale. Interest poll:
I remember seeing another post about a cutaway training jeep a few years ago, but unfortunately I can't find the link to it. It might well have been this unit.
It is indeed interesting and worthy of restoration/preservation.

The large training bases had Training Aids Sections and made "Mock Ups" and "Cut Aways" of weapons and vehicle components such as this Jeep.

One sold on eBay a few years ago to a well known British jeep parts company. They rebuilt it and it was/is for sale on their web site.

Re: Rare jeep for sale. Interest poll:
There was a cutaway WW 2 jeep in Russia a while ago, and I think it was a training jeep. It was not this jeep. That jeep had EVERY single component of the jeep cutaway. I wish I had kept the pictures of it. Oh, well...
