N-Series predecessor to promote Isuzu's half century in Australia
Spied recently in a back corner of Isuzu Australia’s national headquarters in Melbourne was this 1973 model ‘Elf’ light-duty truck.
The story goes this forefather of the modern-day N-series was bought new from the Suttons Arncliffe dealership in Sydney and worked loyally for the original owner until traded on a new model not so long ago.
Still fitted with the factory-fitted Japanese tipping body, Isuzu Australia acquired the truck and with its 50th year of Australian operations on the horizon, plans to bring it back to original condition to highlight the inherent durability and strength which have made N-series arguably Isuzu’s greatest success story.
