This is a very sad sale for me, I haven't owned this very long, and I've always wanted a classic commercial.. however I bought this to carry my tractor and tow my caravan to steam rallies etc as well as an advertising tool.
I think I underestimated how 50 year old commercial drives, combined with the fact I am 6ft 5, and 22 stone on a practical level this just doesn't work.
The truck starts instantly, and runs very well indeed, very little smoke, no overheating etc.. and it does pull very well indeed.
The truck does drive, I think fairly well for what it is.. bearing in mind, it's a crash gearbox with no power steering etc..
The brakes, however, do need attention, the nearside rear wheel cylinder is leaking. I have currently clamped the hose to make it driveable again, although I wouldn't advise driving it a long way.
The battery would also benefit from being charged, as does go flat if left for a couple of days.
The cab seems pretty solid to me, the seats are in good condition and there's carpet on the floor.
All the doors do lock, and the wiper, lights, heater etc do work.
It has obviously been painted at some point, its ok from a distance but up close could certainly be improved upon.
There is a beavertail body on the back this obviously isn't original and is a more modern addition.
it does come with ramps.
The vehicle is tax and mot exempt as I'm sure you are aware.
The previous owner and his father had owned the truck between them for many years and only sold it to me because of a bereavement in the family.
I am by no means an expert, I would encourage anyone interested to view.
I do have a bigger recovery truck and I can help with delivery if required!
I am gutted to be selling this, I am open to sensible offers but please don't be silly.
any questions please phone
