<br />
This is a super find, it is a Northern California truck so has spent its life in the drier climate and is 100% rust free as a result. Very very very solid, there is NO rust penetration anywhere on this truck. It has been garage kept all its life until around 5 years ago since when it has developed the majority of its sun baked patina. IT IS ONE OF THE MOST DESIRABLE YEAR MODELS OUT THERE, IS VERY VERY RARE AND THE PRICE REFLECTS THE CONDITION AND RARITY AS A MODEL AND SPEC<br />
<br />
Now please note this is a numbers matching original truck. It is a running driving turn key truck and not a major project. It starts and runs without fault, it does not burn oil and emit any smoke, it is a very nice healthy engine in good order. The truck drives as it should and stops as it should.<br />
<br />
These trucks in this condition are becoming increasingly difficult to find now, particularly original examples such as this, it has everything going for it, it"s a proper solid truck that you can jump in and use as it is.<br />
<br />
The truck is obviously exempt from MOT <br />
<br />
The truck will be sold registered with UK plates and a V5 document ready to go<br />
<br />
Finally serious interested parties please call Pete on 07980921341, please no lowballers , tyre kickers, please be realistic with your expectations. This is still a 70 year old truck, as such it will drive like one and not like your 2013 BMW. You can secure the truck with a 500 deposit.<br />
