So right here it is people, the very truck that everyone’s man of the moment refurbished and rebuilt back to new condition is OFFICIALLY for sale. There have been a few rumours floating about on various social media, so lets put those all to bed and say that yes it is for sale. The Grimsby Gangster a.k.a. Mick Moody has confirmed that he is prepared to sell his pride and joy….of course for the proper money. The truck itself is a genuine left hand drive Scania 143 500 Topline Streamline new on the road in Switzerland in September 1996.
There is a fair quantity of pedigree now attached to this truck as it was rebuilt by the a single and only, bike racing, mad-haired, Spitfire creating, all-round good bloke, new Fred Dibner, truck mechanic extraordinaire Mr Guy Martin. This has been properly documented by every person and there is even a video of Guy and the truck obtainable to watch by clicking on the YouTube video below. We now know that Guy’s mechanical engineering expertise are no longer just great enough to be a race motorbike builder or an amazing truck mechanic but he is also an accomplished Spitfire builder as well. I have in no way seen the truck in individual but for me, with the truth that Guy has rebuilt it, I can only imagine that it has been offered his usual complete and utter interest and laid back professionalism…..I would consider that if you ask nicely when you pick it up from Grimsby you may even be able to get Mr Martin’s autograph someplace on the truck.
The truck is like new and there really are only a couple of trucks out there that have been refurbished back to a new condition. The primary cause getting the expense. Expense has not been considerably of a priority with this one as it was much more important just to get it correct and make it as it ought to be. The full spec of the truck is as follows
