Fast forward a couple of years and yes, I purchased "Rusty James" from the guy around the corner for all of $600. I had to clean out half a wheelie bin full of dirt, dust, rat poo, possibly chicken poo, a handful of complete ww2 303 bullets (the stamping dated correctly) and other bits and pieces thrown in the cab over the years. There was a lot of cleaning involved, but overall I'm fairly happy for the price I paid. The issue however, appears to be the chassis. It looks like it has been lengthened at some point in the distant past so our dear friends at the dept of transport are probably not going to be accommodating about it. What a saga
