   This seems to be a hotchkiss jeep.
   No std hood blocks but rather the bend metal strips on the windshield frame
   Air cleaner location
   Wiper motor with central motor
   Push start button on dash
   Jaeger speedometer

   That would be a cool find

   Thanks for the insight Claus, I was wondering about that air cleaner. Is a Hotchkiss jeep more or less valuble (rare) than a standard MB/GPW. It would seem like very few would have been imported to US.

   I always forget to look for the Hotchkiss elements.

   Mark, I don’t have many comparable sales. Rarer, yes, but I would guess less valuable in the US simply because they didn’t originate here.

   Heres something for all to have a look at, there are 4 pages to review for differences. There was another nice site for comparison but it no longer seems to be working.

   Yes that “was” an M201, 24v, early to mid 60’s. Now its pretty much just a mess. This is the 201 I restored. Try as hard as they may, you just cant pass one off as WW2. Great Jeep in there own right.

   Nice jeep! but unfortunately it’s a typical 100% French built Hotchkiss Willys. Made in France from around 1959 till 1969. Nothing on it is from the Sates, only the name “Jeep”…
   You have to be careful because many of them come to us from Nederlands, UK, Belgium an Germagny… Too bad…
