71 single cab, with M509 dust protection

I just bought another early bay; couldn't say no to this sweet single:

This SC came out of the estate of an old man who had owned it since new. It seems he only used it for occasional shopping trips with his wife, and the only load it ever carried was garden refuse to the dump. It has only done 117,500km and has its original engine. 8)

Immediate plan is to paint the wheels, hubcaps bumpers and taillight lenses, remove the cleats added to the side gates, and enjoy it! Medium term I want to replace all the window and door rubbers, replace the bed slats and respray it original colour.

My current daily driver, a 75 Fleetline panelvan, needs to come off the road for front beam and steering work, so this baby will become my daily for a while! 8)
