This is a super find. Out of long term 35 year ownership and only because of ill health.
Restored many years ago with lots of photos and invoices over the years
Up to date V5 registration document here and ready to go in new owners name
MDD 480 was registered in Gloucestershire on 14th January 1953 and sold through Windmill and Lewis to Mr Stone of Coalpit Heath Glos. Windmill and Lewis bought it back in 1955 when it was sold on to Mr Douglas of Stratton on Fosse.
It stayed in this area all its life until I acquired it and bought it back to Berkshire.
It is a really nice project as no welding is required!
Has a Fairey overdrive fitted and free wheeling hubs
Off the road and unused for approx 5 years it will need all the brakes going through as you would expect.
It starts on the button and the original engine sounds good. All gears select correctly and low and high box are working correctly. The fuel is stale and will need flushing through.
The bulkhead is superb and was replaced many years ago with an original bulkhead from Australia so rust free.
It really is very original with 1953 dated radiator, carb, 4 wheels and of course the original engine.
The chassis was welded were needed over 30 years ago and has stood the test of time. All solid.
Can be driven for loading purposes but not on the road due to the brakes binding!
It is very rare to find a solid project like this needing a few weekends work to get it back on the road.
The canvas is in good condition.
Can be viewed off Junc 14 M4 Near Hungerford Berkshire.
