Installation notes
The data plate was originally fitted to the glove box lid or dashboard. On early 6V M201s, the plate stated 'Willys Overland Model MB 6 volt built under licence by Hotchkiss-Delahaye'. The data plate is supplied unstamped and must be filled in by the owner with the specific vehicle details (chassis number, engine number).

Historical context
The Hotchkiss M201 was the standard light military jeep of the French army from 1956 until the early 1980s. Hotchkiss obtained a licence from Willys-Overland in 1952 to produce parts and later complete jeeps for the French army. The M201 remained in limited French military service until 2000.
