Whitham Specialist Vehicles Ltd in Lincolnshire, England sells "Hotchkiss
M201 jeeps choice from 3,950" BRITISH POUNDS.
Ref. p. 9 Military Machines International, June 2001. That is about US$
5,704.
Unfortunately it appears that some people buy a Hotchkiss and then try to
make it look like a WWII jeep. The book JEEP by Jeudy has some neat photos
(some in colour) of M201 jeeps in French service. Price aside, think
carefully about WHY one wants the vehicle. Don't buy it if one REALLY wants
a WWII jeep. If one wants a Hotchkiss though, then is sounds like a fair
price in today's market if it is complete and in good condition.
A FUN vehicle to drive I am sure.
