Mercedes 809d spec lift recovery truck
very rare truck, i’ve never seen another one.
i bought this from the company sign written on the truck earlier this year, with great intentions to restore it and take it to shows.
to be complete honest, i haven’t touched it. I’ve driven it around about 40 miles home and then done a further 20 miles locally.
it seems a shame for it to sit there untouched so i thought i’d advertise and see if anyone else has time to restore to its former glory.
the company i bought it off have had it for 35 years, and they originally put the body on it.
i have stuck a battery on it since owning it. It starts instantly, and does drive well for what it is.. it’s slow and noisey.. but is what it is.
the clutch is good. As is the 5 speed gearbox.
brakes are straight, steering good, but no power steering.. so heavy when on the spot. Easy enough when going.
the cab is straight, of course it’s got rusty bits.. it’s 36 years old!
the body is very clean for what it is, it would benefit from a rub down and paint but it’s pretty good. All the lockers lock.. they are also full of everything you need to go straight to work, straps etc...
also comes with a set of dolly wheels for moving 4x4’s etc..
the spec works, as does the winch, but one of the rams in leaking and will need replacing.
this isn’t currently been mot’d has been ran as mot exempt all its life.
tax is £165 a year as a recovery vehicle.
this is a project and needs work.. but is driveable/ usable as it is.
i can help with delivery if needed, please ask.
any questions or to view please phone
