I'm so chuffed

3.9 V8 Auto, Original Petrol tank removed and replaced with 80L LPG tank and 25L petrol tank, so no boot space lost, and can still go offroading as the tanks aren't the "belly tanks". Although its a bit too clean and shiney to be used offroad if I'm honest paperbag I think I'll be more the Chelsea Tractor than Mud plugger tbh

Ardenes Green with dark brown leather interior, electric & heated seats, cruise control, air assisted brakes, air suspension, CD auto changer, factory fitted subwoofers, electric mirrors, windows and sunroof, air con, auto dimming rear view mirror.

139k miles, recon auto box and transfer box, absolutley mint everywhere, waxoyled (sp?) every 3 years, not even dirty underneath, FSH and a ****load of other things I cant even remember.

But as they say, a picture speaks 100 words, so here they are









Hopefully there wont be too many tech questions, but no doubt I'll need help with something.

Cheers

Ed

I meant to say I've bought it because I will soon be embarking on building a drift car and need something that can tow well, and isn't totally embaressing to drive everyday.

In this I feel like a king The other option was either a Transit van or a Volvo estate. As you can see it was a tough decision

Very nice my friend, can't wait to get mine on Monday

Still wondering whether to go for V8 or transplanted Diahatsu Deisel. Narrowed my search down to these two cars now.

V8 all the way mate.

I was origianally looking for a 200TDi one, but I have come to the conclusion that back in the early 90's diesel was considered "poverty spec" (apologies if that offends anyone) so I couldn't find one with an auto box and leather. (I've had a manual RRC before and it kind of ruined the luxury feel with the agricultural gearchange)

So I gave up looking for TDi's and started looking at LPG V8s instead. Admitantly with TDi you can run it on BIO fuel and save a fortune, but 210miles in this costs around £30, which is £20 cheaper than my old Nissan 200SX (although that was running 13psi of boost )

I am, dont worry

Air suspension means I can never get bored at traffic lights ever again (yes, I am that childish)
