Imported in August 2017 by
Simmites Ltd its been in our vendor's hands since October 2017, (first in
his business name, then his own) and has been kept on his estate in a nice dry
barn seeing little use, on trickle charge. Starting promptly and running
as it should as we manouvred it around for these images it looks every bit as
good underneath as it does atop.
The history file includes the
V5C, British Motor Industry Heritage Trust certified copy of a factory record, 2
sets of keys with Cobra alarm fob, owner's pack and replacement service book
showing 2 stamps by Simmonites Ltd of Thornton for delivery and service in
October 2017 at 46,000 miles, the truck has covered at the time of cataloging
just 75,600Km (46,975 miles) and comes with a recent MOT running until August
2021 with just one minor advisory noted for 'Nearside Front play in bushes on
steering damper'.
One of just 1071 produced for the global market, this
is one of just 50 50th Anniversary examples sent to Japan, the rest heading to
Europe (the UK got just 385), and the Middle East and as such, is
undoubtedly a rare beast and now highly collectible. Given this, their
values have continued to climb and we now see them rarely. An exciting
opportunity for sure and given its in such sweet condition we expect the bidding
to be competitive.
