In 1994 the vehicle was sent off for restoration at R & R Motor Services, Ashford, Kent, where it had a replacement engine installed (2.2litre side valve petrol) but still retains the original gearbox and axles. The body tub is original and had minimal repairs. The replacement Worthing canvas roof is correct for the period. There are all new seat squabs etc. and it retains the correct slat grill which identifies it as an early model jeep. The jeep is sold with the original brown log book dated 1959.
