the top is with a huge hole (it have to be changed) but the two doors are intact...

Martin, I know the prices are different here in the US. An actual wartime US made Willys or GPW brings more than a Hotchkiss. I'd say here that would bring $4000.00-6000.00 as it sits. Keep in mind just to "wake up" a Jeep that's been sitting for that long should have all fluids changed and a minor tune up at a minimum. That's a few hundred dollars to wake it up. Top and seat cushions around $800.00 depending on the brand. It also looks like those tires have seen better days, here your at about $1000.00 by the time you buy 4 tires, tubes, flaps, and shipping. So your probably somewhere around $2000.00 to put it back on the road safely.

Thanks for your help troy
Do you think euros 2500/3000 will be a fair price for the both of us ?

I would think more in the €6000-7000 region, perhaps a bit less if they're keen to sell. Providing the overall condition is good, like none to only minor rust, complete etc. Good M201's are recognised as good MV's on their own right and not as cheap as they used to be.

This one looks like it is still in its original French army configuration; if you get it I'd strongly suggest you keep it as such and not disguise it as a WW2 jeep.
