- Steering box, axles, prop shaft, gearbox, transfer box
- Body panels & bulkhead removed, repainted individually off the vehicle before reassembly
- Wheels shot blasted & repainted
- New hood & front seat coverings

- In essence this is a fully rebuilt, rut & bolt restoration from the ground up, yet retaining a huge amount of the original parts, engine, gearbox etc.
Original 1949 vehicles are a very rare find indeed, & we have been very lucky acquiring this vehicle. We haven't had one of these for over 10 years.
As always viewings are highly recommended, we have a ramp on site to view underneath if required.
