Description
This is a very rare and original Mercedes 306D Tipper Lorry. It is basically a small commercial vehicle with a hydraulic tipping body. Based on the Hanomag-Henschel design with front-wheel drive and a 4-cylinder OM615 diesel engine. The cab is a simple design with a straight forward 4 speed gearbox and one reverse. Traditional Mercedes- Benz "clap hands" windscreen wipers and the doors have sliding windows (pre wind up windows). There is also a small took box located between the two front seats that can double as an extra seat. Only one previous UK owner and imported into Ireland in 2011 as part of a collection. The vehicle obviously had very light work to have survived in this excellent condition at now 50 years old. The body is like new with timber sides and aluminium floor, so it will not rust. The lifting ram works perfectly, which can be demonstrated. The Massey Ferguson transfers were placed on the vehicle for the small garden tractor pictured on the back (not part of the sale) and can be removed easily if required. Walk-around video available upon request. This is a very small lorry, 15 feet 6 long and 6 feet 5 inches at its widest point, so limited space is required for storage. This is an easily maintained classic for any enthusiast or collector.
