I always wonder how you would begin to work a price out for something like that...

Perhaps the first person to see it could tell us, as he must have bought it.

Shame it has been blighted with the modern tachograph , which would not have been there in 1964 . As a preserved vehicle , not being used commercially , the original speedometer ought to suffice .

I think that many British lorries of the period look so much better.

They can be bought for similar money too:

1968 Atkinson Borderer Artic Unit

Would have in germany as the first tacho was used in 1952 for evything over 9.5 tons then in the 1960s everything over 3.5 tons! they came into law over here in 1980
