REDUCED from $45,000 – Here’s a truck with a remarkable story. Sold new by Lynas Motors in Perth in 1950, it has never been on the market since. Purchased for use for a family orchard business in the foothills, the Thames truck served in its role of taking produce to market until 1961, and was then laid up. Then, 12 years ago a very comprehensive restoration was undertaken, resulting in a better than new condition vehicle. Every aspect was rebuilt in a body-off restoration. You can’t help but be impressed by its condition.

Having taken the truck to shows – sometimes with its one-owner Ferguson tractor on the back, the owner is now getting too old to use the truck and it’s on the market for the first time in 73 years!

This truck has done just 44,300 miles from new. The model features a Ford flathead V8 engine of 3.6-litres and 4-speed gearbox, all matching numbers and rebuilt. It has decent performance from the torquey engine, but can’t be described as fast… It’s rated at 5 tons.

The number plates DR 1164 were the plates it was issued with in 1950.
