DESCRIPTION

A fabulous American head turner, simply described as the ""real deal"". Powered by a jaw dropping Mercury V8 Flat head engine, this fabulous left-hand drive 1950 F2 Pickup truck has reportedly had in excess of £20,000 spent on it in the last five years. We are told the engine rebuild alone cost in excess of £4,000.

Imported from the United States in early 2011 "784 YUE' was first registered in the UK in September 2011. The last owner in the States, prior to the car being exported, served in the American Air Force and only used the pick-up sparingly during 35 years of ownership. Included in the sale is a letter from the last US owner confirming these details.

This pick up has been subject to a ground-up, no expense spared restoration, it underwent a full bare metal re-spray and was stripped, re-furbished, re-painted and re-assembled. Paintwork, mechanical, trim, engine and tyres were all replaced, rebuilt or refurbished. The bodywork has been repainted in expensive two-pack paint to obtain a high gloss blue finish while the rear deck / flat bed is fitted with solid oak flooring which is reported to have cost over £1,000.

Since restoration and rebuild of the V8 engine, this truck has had very little use, having travelled no more than 300 miles and 36,897 unwarranted miles overall. With the current vendor not getting the time to use this wonderful vehicle it is offered here for sale. Supplied with a full V5C, this 1950 Ford F2 V8 Pick Up is both MoT and tax exempt.

Simply described as the "real deal' by the vendor this V8 Pick Up must be of consideration.
