I think it looks really odd and the 'pickup' bit looks like it was actually a van?estate originally as the uprights are sloped.

 

If it had been a full length van or a full length pickup I think it would have been quite nice but it just looks disjointed to me.

 

I would love to know what the cab back panel is from as it looks like a proper panel from something else modified to fit.

 

All in all an interesting piece of history but I wouldn't want to own it, especially not at that price!

The advert originally stated ignore the listing price (they needed to list a figure or eBay won't advertise it).

It is meant to be sold at auction on the 13th April but doesn't show up on the auction website?

I'd love a pickup with that crew cab conversion.... but i wouldn't want a 6 wheeler.

I actually kind of like it. There's numerous changes I would make, but hey we can all dream can't we?

It was knocked together in a shed by a couple of jokers in the 70's???

It's neither a rare classic or particularly well built.

 

Is this another one of these magic "no welding" cars??

 

As far as we can tell the vehicle needs no welding

 

Drivers side wing is compltely stoved in

Passenger side has a large hole in it

both A-pillars are rusted

I wouldn't hold out much hope for the sills

Why would you do that?

Six wheels, but only the front two driven?

Withdrawn from eBay but now showing on the auction site https://angliacarauc...-wheel-pick-up/

According to the original eBay ad it's registered as a pick-up.... but according to Gov.UK that number plate doesn't exist.

I suspect that there is going to be a very limited market for it and it will either sell for next to nothing or a huge amount to someone who thinks they can make a fortune out of it.

Yep wouldn't be the first time someone's paid stupid amounts for an old heap without doing their homework.
