I saw it advertised on a Jeep club website, and as the guy lived only a few
miles from me I thought I'd check it out. It was first sold in Kuwait, which
probably explains why it has no woodgrain (it would melt), and the lack of
rustiness. Then, someone imported to London, and sold it to the guy I bought
it from. His passion was CJ6 Scramblers, so he sold it within a couple of
years (took up all of his garage and I think he was after another CJ6 IIRC).
