Do you mean this one Carlos?

It was apparently exported to Tanzania so it's possible that it was not registered until 1975, when it returned to the UK, but was built earlier.

i emailed him about that and he said it is historic class so tax exempt

but 1975 not sure

does have wrong door cards though and looks like wrong seats

Thanks Louise and Aupickup.
Yes it is that pick up!!!

he said it is historic class so tax exempt

The seller states in the ad "I will also pay the next five years road tax for the new owner of this vehicle" so if it's tax exempt it's not much of an offer

Nice looking pick up though Carlos

i sent an email to him about that remark and this is the reply

Hi,
I have to admit I am being tongue in cheek as it is, as you correctly assumed, in the historic vehecle taxation class!

tax exemption is based on manufacture date, not registration date, so a late pickup that wasn't registered in UK until 1975 would still qualify.

just a shame to ruin it by fitting non standard pick up bits

You're a hard man Dennis, ruined?!!

Post by **aupickup** » Sun Dec 27, 2009 3:21 pm

at that price and looking at it quality of build then it should be fit for concourse which it is not

and prob repro front wings etc etc

did it really want all that replaced

well I ruined mine as it's being fitted with saloon type carpet, door cards and gloveboxes

would be ncie if i could find an original ruibber flooring

You would really ruin it then Frank, by way of a rusted out floor pan!!

rubber flooring used to increase rusting?

Once water has got underneath it wouldn't evaporate.

Post by **aupickup** » Wed Dec 30, 2009 10:28 am

yes thats why they rotted out

i used to have quite a few rubber mats, but never actually fitted one in any of my vans or pick ups for that reason

Looks pretty good. Looking forward to seeing mine finished nicely. But certainly not green!
