THE APPEAL
What do you buy for the Jeep enthusiast who has everything? Well, this would be good start.
Built by a Jeep fan in Cornwall using a Yamaha G5 golf buggy as a donor, the replica Jeep is a ¼ scale replica of the 1983-89 Jeep CJ6, one of the most iconic vehicles of its era.
It was purchased by the vendor – a classic car collector - a few years ago as a toy for his own offspring to enjoy driving around his land; the ideal addition to his collection to allow the younger generation to enjoy the fun and joys that can be had from driving cult classic vehicles.
Fast forward a few years, though, and they’ve outgrown it, so it’s time for the little Jeep to find a new young owner who will love and enjoy it as much as they have.
It’s a fun little thing and runs like a proper vehicle, powered by a four-stroke petrol engine that began life in a Yamaha golf buggy, using the G5 powerplant that’s regarded as the best golf buggy engine going.
