Jeep in Australia 1978 - 1991

[eksjay]

Jeep Australia Pty Ltd. (written on the page ad)

Was this later owned by Chrysler, and was it still used as the launch company for its circa 1994 return to Australian shores?

Cheers,

The guy I bought some parts off, he was a hard core XJ guy, but then he sold it, and bought an earlier model.

It had the 4.2L engine, with carb, and a 5 speed manual, just a bit longer than my Cherokee, cant remember if 2 or 4 doors.

It wasnt the full size model that had a 360

Not sure what model Jeep had as a mid-sized 4wd around early 80s in Australia

Not quite. RBA's inflation calculator says that 25,000 1985 dollars would be just over 73,000 in 2019 dollars.

For reference, an XF Falcon was just over 15,000 at the time, in 2019 dollars that would be a bit over 45,000

Would be interesting to know what a 60 Series or Land Rover was at the time.
