It's a 4.0, check and see what head it has. Everything else is fine.

It does appear to be a legitimate European model variation. They got quite a few things we never did. Like this XJ panel van with rear-seat delete and a completely flat loading floor.

Hey guys,

Just to let you know and give you a complete answer...

In France, Jeep celebrated its 60th Anniversary with a special version of the Cherokee, limited to 200 models for 2000 until 2001.

The "Wild Sport" edition (official name not a "sticker") was designed to promote the 4.0 I6 motor in France where buyers generally bought diesels and the 4.0 wasn't available in the 2-door body style...

The Wild Sport always came as a 2-door with:
-4.0L High-Output motor
-AW4 automatic transmission
-NP242 "Select-Trac" transfer case

Exterior modifications from the normal models include:
-"Wild Sport" badges on doors and liftgate.
-Tinted windows
-Spoiler with third brake light.

The only option available was metallic paint.

So yes it's legit! My work here is done!

:-)

What?

lol Sorry but that's a silly question!

But I won't make fun, I'll just answer. No. It's a LeftHD (just like you) because in France (just like 80% of the rest of the world) we have LeftHD!

Wikipedia has a detailed article on LHD and RHD... The majority of RHD countries are the United Kingdom and all their ex-colonies (India, Australia, New-Zealand, etc) and also south African countries, Japan, the Philippines and other small countries and islands.
