PEGASO - Comet 4x4 3041 - 1980

PEGASO COMET 3140 4x4 (1980)
GENERAL
This Pegaso Comet 4x4, model 3140 from 1980, is an exceptional piece of Spanish industrial heritage. The Comet was the pillar of transport revival in Spain, designed under the technical direction of Wifredo Ricart to offer robustness and versatility. This specific 4x4 version is extremely difficult to locate today, especially in such solid condition. The vehicle retains its original tanker truck configuration, including an operational pump system. During this era, Pegaso was the main supplier of strategic logistics fleets, including units that served the Cepsa network, which makes this model an ideal candidate to be preserved as a historical vehicle due to its rarity and relevance in the history of the national motor industry.

CARROCERÍA Y PINTURA
The exterior assembly, covering both the cab and the tank, is in very good overall condition. The paint retains a notable presence for its age, noting that the tank still bears the original Cepsa logo. It presents two specific details to consider for a complete aesthetic restoration: a light scratch of about 5 centimeters on the front bumper of the left side and a small dent located on the left rear fender. Aside from these points, the structure remains intact and well preserved, reflecting a care level higher than what these work vehicles typically receive.

MECÁNICA
In mechanical terms, the truck stands out for its characteristic reliability. The 6,550 cc diesel engine with 135 HP starts perfectly, offering the unmistakable round and powerful sound of Pegaso engines from the era. Currently, the vehicle not only starts but is in operation, which greatly facilitates any conservation project. The robustness of its full-time 4x4 traction system underscores this model’s technical capability to tackle demanding terrain, maintaining all original mechanical functionality.

INTERIOR
The cabin shows a very positive state of preservation in its main elements. The dashboard is immaculate, with no cracks or damage, something quite uncommon for vehicles of this age. Likewise, the headliner is in very good condition, free of significant tears or stains. As for the seats, they require reupholstering to restore them to their original splendor; although they currently have protective covers, replacing the upholstery is necessary to bring the cabin up to the standards of a collectible vehicle.

DOCUMENTACIÓN
The vehicle is currently undergoing rehabilitation as a historic vehicle. The seller commits to processing the relevant paperwork so that the buyer receives the truck’s documentation properly processed as a Historic Vehicle. This procedure adds significant value to the unit, as it facilitates its legal circulation and long-term preservation, ensuring that this piece of Pegaso’s history can be exhibited and enjoyed in compliance with all applicable regulations.

RECOGIDA
The truck is located in Ponferrada (León), Spain. To facilitate logistics after the sale, the seller offers collaboration to locate specialized transport companies that can manage the vehicle’s transfer from its current location to the destination chosen by the new owner, ensuring a smooth and professional delivery process.

OTRA INFORMACIÓN
Given the scarcity of surviving units of the 3140 model in 4x4 configuration, this Pegaso represents a singular opportunity for collectors of heavy vehicles or institutions dedicated to industrial heritage. Its ability to operate currently, combined with the integrity of its tanker and pump system bearing the Cepsa iconography, positions it as an excellent base for a concours restoration or to be kept as a living testament to Spanish engineering of the 1980s.
