Man, very nice rig....was looking at a Leyland for a while.

What are overall Height, width and length?

 

[roamnshoot]

Yea great rig! Gen 1 Cummins 6BT six-cylinder engine starts up every-time.
Roughly 8 foot wide, 22 foot long and 12 foot tall.
Never had an issue with height for bridges or anything.
Once you get used to driving the rig, it feels like a big pick-up truck.

you might want to edit the "habitat" portion of the listing, I am pretty sure it is more than 15.5" long lol

 

[roamnshoot]

Yea sry! When I try to edit, it only lets me edit the title.

15.5 feet x 7.8 feet x 7 feet (6’ feet 4 inch interior height)

“Before he can commit” give me a break!

 

[PiggyBoys3]

So, is this still for sale? I didn't` see an answer for that. I'm interested!

 

[PiggyBoys3]

What's involved in registration in the US? Do you need import docs?

 

[roamnshoot]

Yes, it is for sale.
A few folks have imported them from Canada and abroad, so that is not a problem.

 

[roamnshoot]

Getting a lot of questions regarding importing from Canada to the US. I am told it is simple by another DAF owner who imported his into WA from Canada.

SMOG and DOT reg's don't apply to 30+ year old vehicles.

That is not a totally correct statement regarding smog…I have to do smog in Colorado and I would have to smog this vehicle every year In Colorado. States vary on smog & lots of states are getting more strict on diesel engines. So that being said it’s on the buyer to know what is required.
