Vehicle History
Remarks
Rare factory special Twin Cab. Bought new by Leech Auto Services as there recovery Truck. Now fully restored to serviceable condition. Bought new by Leech Auto Services as a factory special order to be used as a Recovery truck. It came with Front winch(since removed) and Recover crane(since removed). The vehicle was in a very bad state when I acquired it but knowing how rare it was and wanting a project during lockdown. It met my criteria and was certainly worth saving. This truck has undergone a massive amount of hours work and cost of spares and is now ready to be enjoyed and driven where ever your adventures take you. Its got a long MOT, and is free Historic road tax and Ulez exempt. It comes with a folder of receipts and some history.
