The Nekaf Jeep is a Willys Jeep which was built in license
in the Netherlands. Some parts are the same as with the Willys Jeep,
other parts were obtained from local manufacturers. The Nekaf was built
by the Dutch Kaizer
Frazer Factory in Rotterdam.
In the early fifties of the twentieth century the Dutch army invited
Nekaf and Daf to make a proposition for a light multi purpose military
vehicle. The army needed new Jeeps to renew it's fleet. The cars they
used those days were old American Willys and Ford GPW Jeeps which were
in use since the second world war.
The Dutch army chose the Nekaf Jeep to follow up the old Jeeps. Between
1955 and 1958 a total of 5676 Nekaf Jeeps have been built. The Nekaf
Jeep was used by the Dutch army for twenty years.
