As more and more people contact me regarding the Pick-Up, I decided to share some information about other W114/115 Pick-Ups here. These can be original Argentine Pick-Ups or other kind of contemporary or recent conversions.

(1) Mark's original Pick-Up (UK)
12 February 2024
I start with Mark's original Argentine Pick-Up. He purchased it in December 2018 and imported it from Argentina in 2019. It's registered in the UK and 100% original. However, once in the UK, this truck underwent a full restoration of the running gear and lower bodywork so that it can be used on a regular basis. He left the upper bodywork and interior as original because it was in pretty good condition. He bought it directly from the estate of a landowner who bought it new (!) in 1972 and cherished it for 50 years.
(2) David's Pick-Ups for Sale in Germany
2 March 2025
When visiting the Retro-Classics fair in Stuttgart this year, I met David, a lovely guy living in Germany, but coming from Argentina. He's got good contacts in the country and has imported quite a few original Pick-ups into Germany.
On that fair he displayed three Pick-Ups, two 2-door and a doble-cabina. Here's two pics from yesterday and I'm looking forward to receiving more information from him.
(3) Mark's second Pick-Up (Argentina)
7 March 2025
Mark has sent some pics of another original Pick-Up, still in Argentina. It's a very early one (No. 124) and still in use on a farm there. I hope I get more pics soon. Thanks a lot!
(4) Federico's Pick-Up (Argentina)
12 July 2025
These days Federico from Argentina contacted me. He bought No. 49, so a very early Pick-Up. As you can see on the photos, this will be an "extensive" restoration, that lies ahead of him. I wish him good luck with this!
