I have decided to part with my old Ford Cargo Beavertail, she has full disc brake system and a high ratio axle the cab was replaced in 1990, she has good tyres all round and is fitted with a 14000lb remote control winch , she has hide away Telescopic Ramps.
The engine runs very well having only done 120,000kms approx 80k mls and all running gear is good with no knocks or whines she uses no oil and when warm doesn't smoke at all. she has been very well maintained over the years and has no problems, she will cruise at 60mph and reach 70mph at a push and is pretty economical at around 23mph easily achievable.
She is a 1st time starter hot or cold and is fitted with a 1000amp Gel Battery although the cab has a few rust scabs around it there is no serious rust and under the cab is good the panel in front of the Windscreen was replaced a couple of years ago and is in perfect condition, all brakes are good including the handbrake, also it is fitted with a full stainless steel WASI Stack exhaust which sounds lovely.
It is Tacho exempt and as it is the older version on paper the MOT test is far more lenient than the post 1986 versions this truck is tested until November this year but I don't envisage any problems for the test as she has only covered about 1000mls this year.
I am open to offers as I am now 63yrs old and it has been getting used less and less so I would love it to go to a good home and be put back to work which it is ready for. I may take an classic Car / Motorbike in part exchange if required also I could deliver it within 200mls of Carlisle at cost if required.
So if anyone wants a genuine reliable old Cargo then you could do far worse that checking this old girl out, she has been a faithful friend to me over the last 6yrs and is very cheap to insure and Tax as she is classed as a classic.
Also I have some good spare parts that will be given free to the buyer.
E mail me on alf_beard@hotmail.com for further information or pictures.
Thanks All
