The seller offers for sale this UMM Cournil from 1982, powered by a 2.1 litre 4-cylinder diesel engine paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox. This Portuguese-built Jeep is an early short-wheelbase model featuring the rare fold-down windscreen designed for military artillery use. The vehicle has been restored using original parts, based on two military vehicles. The paint is presented in good condition and the interior has been fully renewed. The vehicle includes original military details such as ammunition canvas structures, original jerrican, bonnet-mounted spare wheel support and new military-style gauges and lighting. The car has never been used off-road in recent years and drives approximately 500 kilometres annually. It benefits from valid inspection and ACP Clássicos homologation.
The UMM Cournil traces its roots to rugged French off-road engineering, later produced in Portugal for both civilian and military use. Known for its robust ladder-frame chassis and simple mechanical layout, the Cournil became appreciated for durability and reliability in demanding environments. Today, well-restored examples are increasingly rare and sought after by collectors of military and utility classics. Its utilitarian character, combined with originality and careful restoration, makes it a distinctive and appreciating classic within the European off-road segment.

The description of this car is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Route 66 Auctions requests a range of detail about the car from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. We strongly advise potential buyers to view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel necessary before committing to bid or buy.
Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible cars to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be hard to see even upon visual inspection.

Photographs may not reflect the exact true colour or exact full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to assure themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy.
