1970 Datsun 521 Pickup £4500 SOLD Sussex/Surrey

[datman]

I imported this 44 year old 1 ton pickup from Nevada recently, its never had paint, weld, filler or anything. Its rock solid and very straight. I have however had the bench seat completely reupholstered and has had the door cards retrimmed in matching vinyl. (Just the seat was £450)

A lot of mechanical work has been done and it has had lots of new parts (rubber things mostly like suspension parts, brake seals, pipes, tyres etc) so this is now a working useable practical truck. We have converted the lighting to UK spec too.

Passed MOT with no advisories.
UK registered (J reg)
Years tax. (Free tax of course)
American style pressed metal numberplates
1.6 OHC engine. Manual.

Very unmessed with truck , even the original AM radio, package tray and rear bumpererttes at still there. Rated to carry 1 ton. Very useful classic truck.

£4500

Negotiable on price?

Would need to be pretty darn close on the price due to the amount of time, work and new parts this has had, i'm not exactly going to get rich on this one. Could have cut some corners but I like things to be right.
