Can’t see how that’s the first Comet ghost when it hasn’t got Kansas City door handles. I drove them in 68 and 69 and and all of the early ones had the high door handles, as can be seen in my avatar.

That truck IS the first grey ghost that Comet received... Fleet number DT201... Chassis number confirms it... It is/was the 16th truck ordered by Wally Shapowloff... The first 15 he received and put to work at KAA... Before he sold out to TNT in November 1968... This was the first truck received after the sale so TNT put it into the Comet fleet.
But as has been mentioned... It had z bit changed on it over the years... It is over 50 years old after all... And will need a lot of work... But should really be restored back to original if possible

In the gumtree photos it looks like it has a turntable on it at the moment.
