Current V5 present. Paperwork includes previous V5s, an application to register a vehicle, invoices for parts and work, and printed photographs of the restoration.

The vendor has provided the following:

The pickup runs and drives, I drove it back from Dorset to Gloucestershire when I bought it and it drove fine, although I discovered a left-hand drive is not for me and it terrifies me and it terrifies the wife sitting on the wrong side as it were, so it has to go and I intend to get a right-hand drive classic. I would describe the vehicle as a running and driving project that you could use as is or work on to improve. Three-speed manual gearbox. Reverse is pull toward you and then up, pull towards then down first, in neutral, push down then up second, push and then down third gear.

The photos in the pack show that it has been totally re-sprayed at some point prior to me owning the truck, I can only assume it was after it was registered in the UK as it shows its colour as Blue in the logbook which needs changing. From the receipts the pickup looks to have had new wheel cylinders and some brake work carried out, I fitted a new handbrake cable, it also has a receipt for a couple of prop U/J joints. The last owner fitted Ford Cortina rear lights, the originals are in the box in the cab.
