1989 AM GENERAL (M998) HUMVEE

KEY FACTS

• An iconic four-wheel-drive utility vehicle, with incredibly off-road ability and which features a rugged camouflage finish.
• It is powered by the 6.5-litre Detroit Diesel V8, coupled with the four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive.
• An original ex-US military example of the Humvee, which has just been imported to the UK and re-registered.
• It has undergone a recent service and is presented in good mechanical order.

EQUIPMENT AND OPTIONS

• Inboard brakes, portal gears, raised half-shafts and a high-mounted air intake allow for a taller driving position with 16 inches of ground clearance, allowing it to ford 30 inches of water, or climb a 22-inch step.
• Central Tyre Inflation System.
• Aftermarket LED lights.
• Its customs declaration form is included.

CONDITION

• No known bodywork damage.
• Black and green camouflage paintwork in very good condition overall, with a few small stone chips and scuffs on the lower panels, though entirely commensurate with its low mileage and off-road use.
• Green fabric upholstery in good shape, though one small tear has been reported in the base of the driver’s seat, while a few scuffs are visible on the seat backs.
• A few blemishes on and around the dashboard dials.
• All of the electrics are believed to be in good working order.
• Its most recent scheduled maintenance was at around 16,000 miles, where technicians at Street Legal Humvees replaced the engine oil, transmission and differential oils, before changing the brake fluid.
• The first UK MOT test was on 2 March 2021 at 16,444 miles, which was a clean pass with no advisories or defects.

SUMMARY

This AM General Humvee is an iconic go-anywhere utility vehicle, which has been kept in good mechanical order. An original ex-US military example, it boasts impressive all-terrain ability and would make fun choice for any off-roading enthusiast. While it could be left in its current specification, it would also be a great basis for a custom expedition vehicle.
