The SAS 1/4-ton Willys Jeep was a modified version of the standard U.S. military Jeep, adapted for use by the British Special Air Service (SAS) during World War II. Known for its rugged mobility and versatility, the Jeep was stripped down to reduce weight and enhanced with specialized equipment, such as machine guns, extra fuel tanks, and tools for desert warfare. It was often fitted with larger tires for better off-road performance. Used for reconnaissance, sabotage, and hit-and-run raids behind enemy lines, the SAS Jeep played a pivotal role in disrupting Axis operations in North Africa and across Europe.
