Take a trip down memory lane with me on this restoration now 2.5 years in...

The vehicle is located in Knysna, South Africa. Shipping can be arranged.

She is very nearly complete, with only a few dash components to source.

I haven't cut any corners (to the extreme detriment of my bank account), such as ordering new zinc plated high tensile BSF bolts for all drive train areas from the UK, original hammer rivets for the body, matching the body paint as closely as possible to untouched original paint found between body panel seams, sourcing OEM gearbox parts etc...

With the project so near completion and me now working abroad for the foreseeable future, I am extending an early invitation for purchase. I will complete the remaining bits on my leave from work shortly.

These diesel versions are rare, this model being exceptionally so as she has her original military convoy lights.

Full list of work done can be shared

Asking price 44 000 USD

Thanks for reading

Mitch
