This delightful old survivor has a neat bit of Canterbury history behind it....

Originally sold new onto a dairy farm in Poolburn Central Otago in 1938, this old girl has basically remained in the same family ownership for its entire 77 years!

Living on the sunny Central Otago farm she would have no doubt tirelessly performed her duties in the early years before the war, but luckily unlike most of these types of vehicles which were commandeered by the government to be used for military service during war time, with many never coming home, she managed to remained safe on the farm throughout the war apparently because the farm was producing much needed milk, so she was spared from being pressed into active service, subsequently remaining a valued asset on the farm earning her keep for the next 60 + years.

Handed down through the family to the current owner, she was given a decent restoration around twenty years ago, and since then has basically sat around for the last two decades doing very little but looking smart sitting in a nice dry show room.

The decision was reluctantly made to finally put the old family Truck up for sale, so a light recomission was recently undertaken to get her back on the road, after sitting for so long in dry storage with no use, it was found that the originally rebuilt engine had lost the tension in the rings, so the engine was taken down and new rings have just been fitted, with the bores checked and honed, and all is now well again with the engine back performing the way it should.

A new W.O.F and a recent service have brought the old girl back to her former glory, and she's ready to be enjoyed all over again.

The body on this example is very clean and solid, and has clearly always been in good order, the clean tidy paintwork still presents very well today, and the chrome and trims are all in very nice order too, this was quite clearly a reasonably costly full restoration when it was originally carried out, and this neat old truck has done virtually nothing since.

To restore a classic pick up to this calibre today would far exceed the asking price of this example as it is being offered today, and it would now be considerably harder to find a complete and worthy example.

The perfect mobile bill board for your classic style Kiwiana retro business with a bit of period sign writing, or simply just a neat old usable classic Pick up with a bit of authentic NZ history, either way you couldn't go wrong.

Note: The original first issue black plates are currently fitted for display, but not currently registered to the truck.
