I remember riding around the island of Jersey in this very truck in the 1980's. The owner was showing a group of us around the war sites. After the hair raising journey around the narrow lanes he informed that the brakes were shot !!!!

Austins are lovely trucks and it would be nice to see it back in England 😉

Here are the details as provided by Henk's daughter Angelique:
  • The Austin is dry stored, and can remain there until further notice.
  • Currently the rear brakes are not working, but all (new) components for the repair are included in the sale.
  • No current Dutch registration, but all paperwork is present to register it.
  • Henk wanted to get €6000.- for the truck, so this is Angelique's asking price.
  • For genuinely interested parties, please contact Angelique Minne by email (click on her name).
I have been told this is one of only 28 remaining world-wide. Here's hoping this threads helps to find a new good home for this truck.

Hanno
