Willys Hotchkiss M201 Jeep; 6 month update; A walk around talk...

 

Thats nearly 6 months I have owned my Jeep, and clocked up around 1000km/600 miles, so thought time to do a walk around film of the Jeep and tell you some of this Jeeps history and what I have read up on the French made Jeeps which were rebuilt WW2 examples eventually with French made parts.

If you want to read more on Hotchkiss Jeeps you can start on the Wiki page here; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hotchkiss_M201

Also have a look on M201.com;   http://www.m201.com

And lastly here are the key differences between the Willys/Ford/Hotchkiss Jeeps, small details; http://www.classicjeeps.co.uk/differences-between-jeeps/

And here; https://www.sacarr.co.uk/mymvs/jeep/m201mb/m201mb1.htm

So you can see my Hotchkiss is indeed a French manufactured tub, chassis and axles etc...

Here is my walk around film...
