Hi all,
I’m starting to look at buying an 80 series. My hunt for a 60 series, for what I am looking for, is not bearing much fruit.
What is the 4.5l petrol engine like compared the the 1HDT? It’s just for fun weekends and green lane so not a daily.
I’m struggling to understand the current market. I thought I’d be lowering my budget a fair bit seeing that I used to see these going for £5-7k a couple of years ago. However looking at what’s advertised today they seem to vary from anything from £6k all the way up to £28k! Tidy looking examples are now around £12-16k. Is this what they are selling for? I appreciate the cost of fully restoring a truck adds up however most I am seeing still need a lot of work.
What are the main things to look out for? From what I’ve seen these suffer a bit or corrosion on the front arches, rear sills and boot lid.
Any advice greatly appreciated.
