Markheliops Posted June 3, 2008 Author Share Posted June 3, 2008 Hi all. Contacted the chap selling - purely out of interest really. Reply below. Hi Mark I am still the owner of the truck and that since 1994 The car is in origional shape, like the wodendeck ,worklamps welding cilinders , clocks and cables Several wires must be connected : those of the worklamps and behind the dashboard Technical Manual are available The roof-top need to be repaired or chanced One petroltank is out of order, caurce of rust inside, but two new once are available. The dashboard needs some painting I am asking the price what I payed for in 1994 : 12.500 euro's Joost 12500 euros = £9,837.88 at todays exchange rate. I think for the condition its not a bad price. When you consider WLF basket cases and lost causes are going for around the £4000 mark. Markheliops Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Degsy Posted June 7, 2008 Share Posted June 7, 2008 Was going to pm you about this one Jack, it's in your neck of the woods, should be good with the Daf engine in it, they are basically a licence built and modified Leyland 680 engine, firm I worked for had a fleet at one time, started with the 2100 then went on to the 2300 and 2500, trouble free engines.
