FWD HAR-1 4-TON Cargo Truck
This truck is probably the rarest surviving american truck of WW2, there only being 2 other original cargo trucks of this type in the world. This particular truck is the only known survivor of British Contract S/M2330 of 1943 which is clearly displayed on the remnants of the original data plates. This truck has undergone a (fully documented)complete 'ground up' restoration over the past 5 years and displays the markings of the first unit of contract S/M2330 which only comprised of 1,664 trucks. These trucks have been documented as seeing extensive use with both British and Polish forces (see Wheels & Tracks No.5 / Sikorski Museum Archives) throughout both Italian and Northern European campaigns.
Clearly a great deal of time and money have been invested by myself into restoring this truck into the remarkable condition it displays today. Every attention to detail during the restoration from the correct type/grade nuts & bolts to the fit of the bespoke canvas-work has been made with this truck. The truck also comes with a complete spares package including spare engines, gearboxes, axles etc.
£15,000.
