This jeep will look action-tastic going around out and about.

Nice pickup Allan
I've never seen this jeep in camo before, is it a custom? And I'm curious about what is mounted in the rear area.
I posted mine a couple of years ago, it's all green and doesn't have whatever it is that you have in the rear of your version.

Many thanks Daryl my friend , It's not a custom jeep , As far as I can see it is original . I'm guessing a mounted Bazooka / rocket launcher or a searchlight would of been mounted in the back of the jeep. My head is guessing that the jeep may be 1970's , possibly Vietnam, Which would put a Bazooka mounted in the back of the jeep . I have another Marx jeep and trailer with spotlight ( not sure if this works , But I may know a man that could help me with that it's the 60's olive green version . Very kind regards , Allan

I have the '60's olive green version. The original steering wheel was busted and found a 3D printed one as a replacement. I posted it some time back.

Hi Daryl my friend , I think I have the same jeep ( part broken steering wheel - still useable carefully ) I got the trailer for it first ( it's in great condition ) and A jeep , trailer with spotlight on its way to me via the post . And Thanks to following the link in your message ( the Link thing is way above my station ) I hoped on to the bay and scored a Marx horse trailer ( it's in very good condition I Was thinking of the Cherilea tractor I have . Unfortunately it's not army olive green But I am looking forward to it arriving
I'll speak to you soon my Daryl my friend
Very kind regards , Allan

What a great pick up!. It’s technically not a Marx jeep but rather the one made in Spain by Molto that used the Marx molds. These date from the 70s and early 80s after Marx have gotten out of the 1/6 game and were definitely designed to be used by Geyperman and other 12 inch figures. Official Mark stoops came into colors olive drab for the military line and red (with a light blue horse trailer) to be used with their western figures. It initially would’ve come with the same trailer and possibly the searchlight like the original Marx jeep. Here’s a picture of one with the box that I found online.
