Discover this authentic 1958 Hotchkiss M201 military Jeep, an icon of French military history. With its recognizable silhouette, olive drab khaki paint, and period-correct equipment, it embodies the spirit of military vehicles of yesteryear and will appeal to both historic vehicle enthusiasts and collectors.

This M201, serial number 05042, underwent a complete restoration in the spring of 2026, carried out by Army Motors in Wissous (91)—a recognized specialist in military Jeeps—using parts sourced from Jeep Village.

Significant work was carried out to restore it to its full charm: a new, reinforced T84 transmission, a new clutch, an engine overhaul, a refurbished braking system, a complete repaint, and new upholstery and soft top… Numerous mechanical and aesthetic components were also replaced or refurbished.

To preserve its authenticity, it retains its characteristic features: a shovel and hatchet mounted on the dashboard, a blackout headlight, a small steering wheel, manual windshield wipers, and other period accessories.

Another advantage: all invoices for the work are available, allowing you to trace the restoration and repairs performed.

More than just a vehicle, this Jeep is an invitation to step back in time and rediscover the spirit of the golden age of military vehicles. Carefully restored, it presents a wonderful opportunity for a collector or enthusiast seeking a vehicle with character.
