Danish registration from a previous owner says 1960 but is a 1961 export version of a WM300. Originally purchased for the Danish military without a bed then bought at auction in 1973 by a former Danish military mechanic and restored. A Benhur trailer bed was used with widened fenders due to the narrower bed and the tow hitch was removed with the addition of street legal tail lights. Sold in 1984 to a Danish restaurant as a lawn ornament and then again around 2017 to Norwegian engineers who used it as strictly a farm vehicle and never registered it for street use. They removed the Benhur bed and put a home built wooden bed in its place. |
35504 miles on counter, 1404 hours on motor, smokes slightly on startup, moving it to France and putting back on the metal bed with which it was sold after sand blasting and repairs. |
