Strikes me that is a "modern" body! Still tidy though....wished I had kept mine and stuffed it in the brambles along with the Bedford MK project....

Only £3k plus premium so far! Shame about the Bedford body, but does have a winch.

It's a total hybrid, and quite well known in MV circles!

 

Matador chassis, Militant cab, MK body.

 

The ad says it's "rare" and unique, yes it is but only because it's cobbled together from several different vehicles! Looks cool, though.
