Marc spotted this flattie for sale.
“My son Jarred spotted this for sale in Springs (where I live) yesterday. We both went to look at it today.
Would you please post this on eWillys Dave.
It is a 1947 CJ-2A with s/n # 88706 being sold privately at a second hand car dealership (Anrecha Auto, Tel. +27 11 362 2243), so I have absolutely nothing to do with this sale. Maybe someone from here (RSA) will see the post and she will go to good home……………if only I could buy her I certainly would.
1) No data plate in engine bay, only the frame tag is still attached.
2) The type plate in the front passenger side is MIA.
3) Engine has been replaced with a Toyota 2.1 4Y petrol engine (installation look neat)
4) Gearbox set up looks normal but the salesman did not know the type but said the owner stated it was Toyota??
5) None standard fuel tank, it is home made but looks the part and I think it may be stainless.
6) Aftermarket CJ-2A windscreen.
7) Non standard tail gate mounted spare wheel which has broken the tail gate which has been
modified with other hinges.
8) All seems straight but the paint job is a “look nice”only as there appears to be body filler in
places and there is visible rust all round.
9) 3 small tail lights fitted on both left and right sides.
10) Top hat sections/hat channels have seen better days as they have rusted through.
11) No speedo but the other instruments look non standard.
12) Body has been lifted, by what looks like 2-inches with round rubber blocks to clear the
engine height for the hood/bonnet.
13) R 65 000 South African rand’s appears to be a little harsh for what this is and the overall
condition.
