Description
I'm selling my late husband's pride and joy but know nothing about it so have copied what was sent to him when he purchased it. I've been told to advertise it @ £35, 000 but i know it is only worth what someone wants to pay so am open to offers as every day it just reminds me of what I have lost!
1956 International Harvester S100. Only produced this model from 1955 to 1957. It is RHD from factory as it was a South African export model.
Spent nearly all its time in South Africa, so no corrosion issues.
Exceptional build qualities at Mustard City Speed in Norwich.
Full body off restoration in 2013 in the UK, with full photographic and invoice file.
Every body panel was media blasted and sprayed in VW Harvest Moon Beige LB1M, which is the new VW Beetle colour. Body and chassis is corrosion free. New screen and door rubbers.
