Series 1 Is there anything savable from this S1?

So one of the things I've been tasked with in my new job is to clear the work yard of old machinery.

The boss thinks the remains of this S1 should be worth something and he wants it gone.

Is this really sellable?

None of the photos are showing for me.

No it hasn't worked at all. I don't know if it's me, the forum or the imaging hosting site. Might take a while to figure out.

Download from the hosting site to whatever device you're using then use 'upload a file' in the reply box

Thanks Blue Beasty

Crane looks fine, some of the body panels may be OK. Hang on to the engine, even if it is rough externally, the camshafts are like gold dust.
The block will probably clean and paint up OK, may be other engine bits worth having.

Just the grille, the badges and steering wheel are worth a bit on their own!

The truck cabs and roof section rare worth stripping of and giving a pressure wash.
Also steering column.

Was just admiring the sliding window, back of the truck cab.

Was just thinking that too, now the other pics have appeared. Chassis repaired, clean up and paint, sort out the mechanicals, good to go.

Truck cab is rare. Make sure you get the figment to the screen

pedals that come through the floor

Any straight panels like doors etc you can save.
bet if you put that on a S1 forum some one would want it been a107”

if its got engine and box, reasonibly complete its got to be worth 750

Looks a side valve 2ltr engine which are getting harder to find.
(Unsure of the non standard air filter though)

Could be a sherpa van air filter assembly.

Another vote for saving it - I might have been interested if it was closer - I fancy a project

As above, get it on the series 1 forum ......

Just had look & most newbs get a roasting for trying to get rid of tat without getting 50 posts...
Are you all slacking ????

off to send linky to a friend

I think it's a 1955 first registered in Hampshire and yes, it's definitely worth saving. Is the registration document still in hand?

No. Seems significantly more genuine that the usual "broken FFRR for sale"

Cool - get it saved

So as this person/family member already has a 107 I have sent linky info on to a few friends.

You have any ideas/need a new motor?
