- Subtly upgraded with an alternator and 12-volt electrics

Period pickups tend to ooze character, and that's certainly the case with 'SSJ 914'. It's presented with Green over Black bodywork and rides on Red wheels shod with whitewall tyres - the load bay features a fully boarded floor and wooden side rails. Built in 1938, this charming D2 Pickup was restored 60 years later, following its importation to the UK around 1997/1998. Its electrical system benefits from a conversion from 6 to 12 volts and an alternator in place of the original dynamo. The brake system has recently been checked and cleaned, and the vendor currently classifies the bodywork, six-cylinder engine and three-speed manual transmission as being in 'very good' condition, the paintwork as being 'good', and the Red and Green interior trim as 'average'. A splendid vehicle for helping to promote a business or just having fun. By International's standards, the D2 was a hot seller, with more than 80,000 examples manufactured between 1938 and 1940.
