Dear All,
I have been speaking with Jack by phone today and just wanted to chime in a bit here.
I think it is important to note a few things about this truck and it now finding a home with Jack for the meantime.
Obviously I am delighted that my trolling the net and taking the time to copy and paste the link to the vehicle for sale has led to it being purchased by Jack but it would also be grossly unfair if we did acknowledge that "Andre", from whom Jack has bought it also deserves much credit.
Andre has preserved and loved the vehicle for many years and has kept all the spares dry and intact and has not butchered it. Infact he has had several opportunities to sell it but upon vetting the prospective buyers has decided not to sell it. Andre has to be credited with fashioinng a new exhaust but doing so without drilling any holes or welding anything on. He really took care of it. Anything he did remove, such as the shielded wiring, has not destroyed the vehicle as he has kept all the parts and it is all reversible.
Having met Jack Innes myself, I can tell all of you who have not had the honour, that he is a very informed and passionate man in our hobby. It is a very good match.
My hat is off to both Andre and Jack.
