Built in April 1967 and purchased as a batch of two identical station wagons and one, IIB forward control to be exported to Malta for use by a film company when making a movie called "A Twist of Sand" Returned to the UK in October 1967 and remained with the first owner in Surrey until the current owner purchased it in 1994. Following a 7 year restoration it returned to the road in early 2001. Rebuilt using as much of the original vehicle as possible very few parts are new. The chassis, bulkhead, doors, body panels, and engine are all original. The gearbox was replaced in the 1970's with a factory rebuilt unit containing a fully synchromeshed gearset making for a slightly more relaxed driving experience. No overdrive has ever been fitted so top speed is a leisurely 55mph. Known to many as Sylvia due to the registration plate.
