True Filipino: The Owner Type Jeep

If you travel to the Philippines, you will soon notice some quite unique vehicles on the streets. First of course there is the Jeepney, which is the bus of the Philippines, transporting passengers through the city traffic. But there are even more interesting cars around! Its the amazing owner type jeeps!

The owner type jeep is somewhat the smaller version of the Jeepney. They are meant for family use and are technically the Filipino type of car. With an owner type jeep you will get a true piece of Filipino style, each car being uniquely build following the design of the good old Willys jeep with some adjustments and of course the colorful decorations that are seen in both, the owner jeep and the Jeepney.

Owner type jeeps are not build in one big factory but rather in small workshops. There are quite a few makers of the Jeepy especially in the Cavite area, south of Manila. This are is also the best place to check if you want to buy a Philippine jeep. There are places where you can just go and choose one of the finished jeeps but you can also get one build just for you, with only small price differences. Almost anything is possible with the owner type jeep makers. You can get any style, from Tikya, to Tamiya, or the classic type of owner jeep, fully covered for weather protection. The engine of the newly built jeeps is not new however. The makers use old engines that are being fully rebuilt with surplus parts and are therefor almost like new. You can get a fully stainless jeep with the typical shiny appearance or just an iron body that is being painted with airbrush or plain color. If you want to buy an owner type jeep, it is best to check this website which is specialized on this car. You will definitely find everything there.
