Almost a carbon copy of my truck. Mine has covered 130000 now but has leather and wood which i added. I love the 24v auto combination. As stated no lockers but its a sunday truck . My offroader is an import but that's fully locked.I'm with you now Shayne. For me, age and mileage aren't the key factors. It's body / chassis condition. Everything else can be fixed as you say. Sure body work can be fixed too, but it's just such a faff. Doing a wing or bonnet is one thing, but whole body off, chassis blast and paint ...arrrggghh!
I think low mileage adds to the intrinsic attraction. But in reality we know if there were two identical vehicles but one had twice the miles, yes we'd pick the lower mileage one but it would be pure vanity. We all have trucks with 200, 300 k on them and just how many of us have had to swap an engine? So nice selling point but the mileage alone certainly doesn't make it worth £15 on its own.
24v auto is a super combo. Yes I would add ARB lockers because for me an 80 without lockers is like a squirrel without nuts.

Yeh I agree Dave s.. Have you seen those immaculate 40 series for sale on ebay for about 4 grand.. more like 15 grands worth. there is no way of contacting the seller. instead they give you some dodgy looking email address to click on.... then explain they are selling for there uncle.. Yeh right!!!Re the link in the OP, its the advert wording that would have me thinking... language and syntax is weird - reads a bit like the "Dear Sirs, I am a Nigerian businessman with USD10,000,000 to invest...." emails... Also the seller seems to flog shoes and has pretty much zero history... smells a bit fishy...
Yeah my speedo reads in mph with kms on the inner readout. It's as near as damn it spot on with Sat nav too. Goes like a greased weasel tooLockers on a 24V auto are rare, it needs to be a "Snow Edition" whereas 12V imports tend to have then for some reason, along with the centre console fridge.
Have you got MPH speedo's in yours Gav or KM? Like you I've made my 24V auto as near UK VX spec as possible but can't sort the speedo out.
He seems to sell kickers and cruisers.
if i was in the market again id certainly be having a look, id have to see if i could cope with the automatically changing gearbox though..
