Riding a Brompton with a power meter.
I have finished, for low values of finished, the 348GTS refurb so I need a new project and have acquired this...
1962 International AB150 dual cab 3.5t truck. It's better than it looks because the bodywork is basically intact (patina, mate) and ALL the unobtanium glass is present and correct.
I got it (very) cheap because it has no engine. I'd love to do an EV swap but there is no route to that outcome that doesn't involved the bankruptcy courts so probably a 3.9 Cummins 4BT inbound.

There are a few here in Western Australia. Until the Japanese arrived in the 70s, most of the trucks and full size pickups here were American. The British manufacturers had trouble penetrating a market where it's quite possible to die if your vehicle breaks down.
Got it into the workshop and it won't fit on the lift so I locked the doors and went home to have a think about my life choices.
