The seller offers for sale this RHD 1975 Jeep CJ5, powered by a 2.5-litre 6-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. Finished in vibrant Tonka Yellow as a Tonka Tribute, this right-hand-drive example presents in good condition throughout and has been the subject of extensive restoration work. The engine has been overhauled, the bodywork has received fresh paintwork, and the Jeep sits on brand-new wheels with all-terrain tyres, complemented by a new exhaust system. The interior has been upgraded with Recaro sports seats, racing harnesses and a substantial roll cage, giving the vehicle a purposeful character while retaining its classic appeal. All electrics have been completed and are operational, and a brand-new soft top has recently arrived and can be fitted for the new owner if desired. The vehicle also comes complete with its weather gear.

The Jeep CJ5 is one of the most recognisable and enduring off-road vehicles ever produced. Introduced in 1954 and built for nearly three decades, the CJ5 drew directly on the military heritage of the wartime Willys Jeep and became a symbol of rugged American capability. Its compact dimensions, short wheelbase and simple, honest engineering made it equally at home on the trail and on the road, and it remains a firm favourite among collectors and enthusiasts of classic 4x4s.

This particular example combines the timeless 1970s styling of the CJ5 with a bold, characterful presentation that guarantees plenty of road presence. Now celebrating its 50th anniversary, it wears its age remarkably well and represents an appealing opportunity to acquire a distinctive and highly desirable classic 4×4. Values of well-kept CJ5s continue to strengthen, making this an enjoyable vehicle to own as well as a potentially rewarding proposition for the collector.
