Thanks Ian McDonald for the tme heads up. Lots of intel and chat here – check out the comments section https://waitematawoodys.com/2015/06/06/mystery-girl/
You have to love the sellers comments, so upfront and honest, “ window framing in topside has rot and falling apart, needs attention. Old 4 cylinder Ford diesel is not running. Unknown hours and details” 🙂
With some TLC she has the makings of a cool little woody.

I’m wondering if that is actually a Ford Diesel. because I have not seen one with the injectors in that position, & with a valve cover quite that shape — looks to me more like a Japanese engine, but it may perhaps be a very early Ford, or perhaps I’m wrong. Also have never seen a Ford with the header tank or heat exchanger across the back end of the engine as this one has.
Obviously, a home conversion, in my view, whatever make it is. — KEN R
