1990 Mahindra Indian Brave, 2112 cc diesel. Registration number H920 HVX. Chassis number MA11540DPODM25224. Engine number XDP490DM-25224.
Mahindra was established in India in 1948 and it saw a business opportunity in expanding into manufacturing and selling off road vehicles, starting with the assembly under licence of the Willys Jeep in India. The CJ340 variation of the CJ-3B was the first Mahindra import into Great Britain, arriving from India via an assembly plant in Greece. In a confusing tip of the hat to the Jeep Cherokee Chief and to this Jeep's manufacture in India, the model was dubbed the "Indian Brave" (and the 91" long-wheelbase version CJ540 was the "Indian Chief"). The running gear is Jeep whilst the engine is from Peugeot, it has two wheel, four wheel drive and a low ratio box.
HVX was first registered on the 8th September 1990 and in 2013 it passed its MOT at 12,634 miles, the following year it failed and was parked up, being purchased by an Engineering company in 2016 in Ely, Cambridgeshire who restored it. They sold it to Arthur Edwards in December 2016. He had two Jeep wings and new seats fitted before having it resprayed in the current USA Army colours and decals. Today the mileage is 12,854 miles.
The cataloguer took is 'Jeep' out for a test drive and all functions worked well, being much easier to drive than the Willys Jeep it is based on.
Sold with the V5C, a new MOT and various receipts for works undertaken.
