A number of similar KB trucks were sold into civilian ownership after WW2 and rebodied for companies such as Tate & Lyle, who had some of these with very similar bodies fitted. Now very rare, if not unique in the UK. When did you ever see one of these at a commercial rally??Would make a great promotional vehicle; classic motorhome or great vintage show vehicle. Now sadly unable to accommodate. May p/ ex or exchange something smaller. All offers considered.
