I read here http://jeepfamily.cherokee-fr.com/ : A partir de1954, la Jeep CJ3B à été assemblée ou construite par la société Türk Willys Overland Ltd à Tuzla près d'Istanbul. Cette usine, filiale de Willys Overland assemblait des Jeep CJ 2A et des petits camions (…) So this could as well be something made in Turkey, at Tuzla factory, a local enhancement of CJ-2A. (Besides, the M-201, as far as I know, had its headlights look very much like the original ones.) -- Last edit: 2014-02-21 13:50:44
