Description

The example we have here is a facelifted version of the first-generation Grand Cherokee, the later cars receiving a fully redesigned premium interior.

European models were assembled in Austria by Magna Steyr ? the outfit that currently builds Mercedes G-Wagons among much else. high-spec Limited model, it?s got all the toys too.

it?s in incredible condition inside, outside and underneath ? with just 25k miles on the clock and a substantial history file, this is evidently a car that?s been used sparingly and carefully.

The Interior:
Plush leather seats in great condition
Generous standard-fit equipment
Premium audio with Infinity Gold speakers

The cabin of the Grand Cherokee was designed to be luxurious, and that fundamental ethos is still very much in evidence today.

The seats are generously stuffed and trimmed in soft leather, which only shows very minimal signs of wear. The front seats are electrically adjustable. Being the Limited spec, this Jeep comes with digital climate control, and the factory-fit audio system is very high-quality with Infinity Gold speakers.

The wood trim is all in lovely condition with no signs of sun damage or lacquer peel, and the carpets and headlining are in good order. Every button works as it should, even the courtesy lights in the sun visors illuminate as expected.

Really, this interior needs to be seen to be believed; while it may be many a Jeep?s lot in life to bounce through craggy fields and accommodate muddy boots and damp kit bags, that clearly hasn?t been the case with this one.
The cabin really is remarkably fresh.

The Exterior:
Desirable paint shade
?Snowflake? alloys with good tyres
Lovely condition throughout

The choice of paint colour was a masterstroke here; while it may appear dark grey in low light, it?s actually a shade of purple ? named Dark Iris ? which transmogrifies and shapeshifts into something altogether more spangly in the sunshine.

The exterior is all standard spec, with its original stainless taillight guards that were specified as a £240 option from new. The desirable ?snowflake? alloy wheels are in great condition, with matching Coopers on front and rear, all with new tread.

The light lenses and window glass are all good, and all of the correct trim and badging is in place. The factory-fit roof bars and rails are present and free from scuffs.

Definitely not a Jeep that?s been used for farm duties or green-laning ? Obviously kept inside and used sparingly.

Indeed, if you look through the MOT history, the mileage has crept up by such a tiny amount over the last few years, it?s probably just been taken out for an annual outing to the MOT centre for a test and service.

The Mechanicals:
Torquey straight-six
Smooth auto ?box
Computerised Quadra-Trac four-wheel-drive system

As you?d imagine of a vehicle that?s designed to be rugged and tough off-road, the mechanical package in the Grand Cherokee is robust and impressive ? but what may surprise you is the smoothness and refinement.

The 4. 0-litre straight-six is a torquey and dependable unit, and this low-mileage example fires straight away on the first twist of the key and settles into an even idle, maintaining the correct temperature when it?s left to run.
The Jeep drives sweetly, with the transmission shifting smoothly and the brakes, steering and suspension all acting as they should.

Viewing and Test drives are welcome. Please also note the number plate is Not included in the sale but is negotiable
