Hotchkiss’ don’t pop up for sale here in the U.S. too often. You can learn more about them on Andy’s M201 website.
“Although I’ve owned many jeeps this was my first and only Hotchkiss so I am not an expert. A few other projects force me to sell this baby. What is unbelievable bout this jeep is its condition for an unrestored jeep. It is very solid. As for the drive train it is all in excellent condition. The jeep is now riding on four combat wheels and a spare combat wheel (I think combat wheels look better than original hotchkiss wheels). The engine bay is very complete and correct. This is one of those jeeps you can enjoy for many years. During its life it has been registered and titled as an MB but from my research it is a hotchkiss which you don’t see too many of. According to the tag on the motor is say that DATE DE RECEPTION IS 2/10/63, I don’t know if that is considered to be delivery date or not but I am determining the jeep to be a 63 based on that information, if I’m incorrect feel free to email me. This jeep looks even better in person so come see it if you can. For the buy it now price I have a tandem tow bar as well as a T1 compressor that I will include. I would recommend keeping it in this condition and never restore it. I would drive this jeep anywhere in the US from California to New York, that is how good this baby runs. I am not a mechanic so, in an effort to keep everybody happy I recommend that all interested parties come see and inspect the jeep before bidding. I will consider MA, GPA or Bantam parts and manuals as partial trade towards the jeep. Good luck and happy bidding.
