After purchase in Detroit, the previous owner toured across the US including driving Alaska's Dalton Highway which crosses some of the Arctic Circle and Top of the World Highway from Chicken, Alaska to Dawson City, Yukon in the truck before shipment to Southampton from Miami accoounting for most of the 20,000 miles covered in his tenure.

It is 6.4 metres long, has comfortable seating for 6 with its twin bench seats (with 6seat belts), with minimal wear. Headlining is sagging in areas. 

The truck is in really good condition given it's age (and size). But does have a couple of areas which have some small marks since it's restoration (it has been used since.) I have a walk around video and pictures highlighting these, so if you're interested then please contact me and I'll be more than happy to send some extra details or pictures over!

It drives absolutely spot on, sounds incredible and gains attention absolutely everywhere you go. It has the dual fuel tanks, both of which are all new with new lines and switches. I have pictures of when the truck was still in the states on its tours of the U.S with the previous owner. 

The previous owners description of the tours of America; 

"Purchased in 8 Mile, Detroit from where we set off to visit family in Ohio. We travelled on to New York and from there through the Appalachian mountains to Nashville, via Washington DC, and finally onto Texas, visiting Gas Monkey garage, where We met Richard Rawlings himself who asked to appear in an episode of Fast & Loud, he was so excited by what we were doing, but we were on a schedule so passed!"

"We repaired and replaced much en route throughout that road trip, and continued to do so the following year on another road trip from Texas to the Florida Keys and then all the way to Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, via the Roof of the World Highway, crossing the Yukon at Dawson City, and travelling the length of the Ice Road and back. We then travelled all the way back to Miami. During this trip the F350 was a back up vehicle for a Nick Sanders/Yamaha motorcycle tour".

"We spent about $8000 over the 2 year period on the following and much more including new brakes all round, new wheel bearings, new suspension bushes, new steering arm, new prop shaft, new radiator, new alternator, new starter motor, new batteries, new wiper motor, new tyres, new exhaust and new heater plugs".   "We became so attached to it as it became totally reliable and covered so many miles, we decided to bring it home to the Uk where it went into our commercial garage and body shop. It had a body-off restoration, was sandblasted and painted in two pack epoxy. The body was fully refurbed and wax oiled protecting it for many years."

"We fully intended to keep it but as we already have another F350 it wasn't getting used. We didn't want to leave it just standing unused in a garage for the rest of its life. It's a remarkable, reliable workhorse."

Really great truck, I don't have receipts and invoices for the parts (I'm still in contact with the previous owner who is frantically looking for the folder), but with any inspection of the engine bay and underneath this vehicle it's fairly obvious it's all brand new. Comes with 2 Keys! Would make a phenomenal advertisement truck!
