Year of Manufacture: 1942
Date First Registered: 01/06/2009
Current V5: YES
Location: PICKERING
You can view from: Monday 11 March - Tuesday 19 March 2024

Current V5 present. Paperwork includes MOT certificates, a Number Plate Authorisation certificate, The Military Vehicle Trust correspondence, a confirmation of vehicle verification from the Veichl Military Trust, previous insurance documentation, and some invoices for parts and work.

The vendor has provided the following:

This vehicle is believed to have been in France during the war and was then subsequently acquired by the Norwegian army after the war as many were.
We fully restored the vehicle around 14 years ago and it has been to the D-Day celebrations in Normandy many times since. We even have some of the Omaha beach sand in the footwell so don’t vacuum the inside, it’s a part of the vehicle!
There is a new fuel tank in the rear of the truck, it just needs a small modification to the fuel outlet to enable it to be fitted in place, (the neck needs shortening). Happy to talk to any new purchaser about this.
It could do with a new set of drive shaft seals on the rear also and the brakes need some work as it hasn’t been run for a few years. Other than that, all the main work has been done and it is ready to visit Normandy again.
Fully restored 10 years ago, and needs a little work to bring back to excellent condition. Age verified.
