Hi, Hanno and David, Yes I bought that one, I have attached a picture from 1991 of what she once looked like, I guess 21 years of standing outside unused has taken its toll. Firstly what attracted me to this machine was the tow bar, I will remove it and use it on the 'Stacey Towing Attachement' on my carrier, Secondly is the number plate '112FCE', This is worth more in the uk than the truck itself!. To be able to remove and sell this number the vehicle needs to be taxed and tested, The plan is to remove the cab and buck, commission the engine, driveline and brakes, get it MOT'ed, get the taxation class changed to 'historic'...............then put the number on 'retention'. What I hope to end up with is a CMP truck which works out to be a very economical investment.
So looking for a new cab as this one I think is behond repair, I have a fellow digging out the trucks history and an article of when it was first restored many years ago.
kevin.
