Bought on ebag a year ago in Tormorden, Lancs but only got around to getting it running last month. Photos make truck look WAY better than it is, but these are so rare I had to get it. Truck is a rusty filler infested bodged mess with almost no working electrics and 4 knackered shocks. But it looks cool. Has a petrol 1.5 OHV iron engine and has 6 stud wheels. Work in progress.

That is proper! I'll be watching this thread to see what transpires. Immediate plans?

Immediate plans are to fix all the easy stuff, to make the 'to do' list look a little less scary. Been fitting new lamps and sorting out the knackered fuel pipes etc. Then once actually drivable and more or less roadworthy it will be put on the backburner because I've got too many other projects needing attention that have been here longer.
Bought some Wolfrace slots the other day for it (one in pic) which I thought was a cool find, New old stock would you believe!

Nice find, I remember when the old bulletsides were a relatively common sight on UK roads.

An old boss of mine had one of these on an R suffix. He bought it when it was a couple of years old and used it as his works hack ever since!
