Current V5 present. Paperwork includes previous V5s, old tax discs, MOT certificates, a VMC Auto Check Report, a New Zealand Certificate of Registration, various correspondence regarding the vehicle, printed photographs of the vehicle, and invoices.

The vendor has provided the following:

  • Meet 'Bruce', a lovingly restored, genuine Australian-built Ute
  • This particular example is the Mark II model and left the Zetland, New South Wales BMC plant in December 1969
  • It was originally shipped to New Zealand, where it remained for 29 years before being restored and shipped to the UK in 1998
  • The car comes with some of the original documents from New Zealand, which confirm authenticity and give some clues to its history
  • It had a full professional respray in 2020 and has not been used since 2021 due to a bereavement
  • It's been housed in a heated garage for the past 10 years and looked after with loving care
  • It's been shown at many classic car shows and always attracts a lot of attention as it is only 1 of 4 examples in the UK that is roadworthy
  • We will be sad to see him go, as he has been part of our family for so long, but we feel it is the right time to let someone else take the wheel and enjoy him as much as we do
