New Legend 4×4 1970 Scout 800

In the realm of classic automotive restoration, few names evoke as much reverence as the Scout 800. New Legend 4×4, with their meticulous attention to detail and unwavering commitment to quality, have once again outdone themselves with their latest Retro Series instalment: the 1970 Scout 800. This masterpiece is a perfect blend of vintage charm and modern sophistication, embodying the essence of “pleasantly vintage, conservatively modern.”

The 1970 Scout 800 is a true testament to the heritage of International Harvester. Finished in the original Aspen Green Irid, this fully restored body sits gracefully on a New Legend restored Scout 800 chassis, providing the perfect balance between drivability and authenticity. The classic colour is complemented by a fully restored hard top in crème brûlée, adding a touch of elegance to its rugged exterior. Each Scout that passes through the New Legend workshop carries with it the legacy of the original IH factory in Fort Wayne, IN, preserving the rich history and continuing the story through the hands of skilled craftsmen.

One of the standout features of this restoration is the Anything Scout Workman Bumpers, fitted both front and rear, complete with a single swing tyre carrier. These bumpers not only enhance the vehicle’s rugged aesthetic but also add a layer of practicality for off-road adventures. The premium brown leather interior, accented with Pendleton textiles, offers a luxurious touch, while the new carpet kit with added sound and heat insulation ensures a comfortable ride in any season.

Modern amenities have been seamlessly integrated into the Scout 800 to enhance the driving experience without detracting from its classic appeal. The Tuffy centre console provides secure storage, while the Retro Sound Bluetooth stereo offers modern connectivity for your favourite tunes on the go. These thoughtful additions make the Scout 800 as enjoyable to drive as it is to admire.

New Legend 4×4’s commitment to excellence is evident in every aspect of this restoration. The Aspen Green Irid paint and crème brûlée hard top are applied with precision, reflecting the company’s dedication to preserving the original aesthetic while updating it for modern use. The new Scout 800 chassis ensures reliability and performance, allowing the new owner to enjoy the best of both worlds—classic design and contemporary drivability.

In conclusion, the New Legend 4×4 1970 Scout 800 is more than just a restored vehicle; it’s a piece of automotive history brought back to life with passion and precision. For those who appreciate the blend of classic and modern, this Scout 800 is a dream come true. It stands as a symbol of timeless elegance, ready to write new chapters on every journey.
