This amazingly original and ultra-low-mileage Ford P100, offered at No Reserve, has incredibly had just one previous keeper. The vendor explains they purchased it in January 2006 with just 10,000 miles on the clock from a dealer in Worcester; the history shows a first service at 2,971 miles in October 1990, a second at 6,700 miles in February 1992, and a third at 9,576 miles in October 2001. Already in excellent condition when they purchased it, the vendor wanted to take it to the next level, so commissioned a restorer to undertake some renovation work. The pick-up body was removed to be inspected and cleaned, before the chassis was painted and the rest Waxoyled. The fuel tank and rubber hoses were replaced, while the engine was later removed for the engine bay to be repainted. Much of this work is evidenced in photographs. The vendor describes the engine, transmission, electrics and interior as all being in ‘excellent’ condition. The rear deck within the Truckman top is also incredibly clean.

‘G608NRN’ has evidence of detailed servicing by the vendor, including a replacement timing belt and all fluids, a reconditioned carburettor, new crank and camshaft oil seals, plus manifold and rocker cover gaskets. It has formed part of their classic car collection, dry-stored and only used during the summer. They add that, during lockdown in 2020, they gave it a further refresh, including painting the chassis, underfloors and wheels, along with another full service. This has turned it into a genuine time warp example. It comes with all the original manuals and even the original sales receipt. “I have always had a soft spot for these vehicles, as I was in the building trade with my father and this is identical to the one we used all those years ago.” It is a reluctant sale but, after 18 years, they say the time is right for it to be enjoyed by a new owner.

The Ford P100 pick-up was originally developed in South Africa, based on the Ford Cortina. From 1988, it was replaced by a more modern Ford Sierra-based model, overseen by Ford UK. It was a surprisingly strong seller and offered with either a 2.0-litre Ford Pinto petrol engine, or a 1.9-litre turbodiesel. The P100 combined the front half of the Sierra with a ladder-frame chassis, which was capable of payloads up to 1,000kg. Always a cult car as well as a workhorse, there was even a Ford P100 pick-up racing series in the 1980s, and today it is a much-loved model by collectors and modifiers alike.

  • Highly original and pristine Ford P100 offered at No Reserve
  • Remarkably low and evidenced mileage of just 12,500 and just one former keeper
  • Sympathetic renovation work makes it one of the best surviving Ford P100
