Well I've finally bought a 404. She is a 1967 Radio Body, rough around edges but from my limited knowledge seems mechanically sound.
I have not actually got her home yet, she is in Bristol and I am just north of Portsmouth. Call me a chicken but I don't fancy 120 miles of motorway and A roads for my first real drive.
Does anyone happen to know the weight of a 404 radio body without any of the radio gear in? My guestimates are right around the limit of a 7.5 tonne recovery truck. Moving up to a 14 tonne truck increases the transport cost dramatically.
Cheers
Ian
