Another Ebay nugget perhaps?

 

Currently a skip lorry, but a lot of things going for it, including the stupidly low mileage, pto and crawler gear.

 

Just 5 minutes down the road from me.

Even better - tipper and 303 miles on the clock!

 

My girlfriend just said that looks like a unimog crossed with a milkfloat

Tempted?

 

Not for me .. and the man selling it was not a happy man when my friend a local GP lit a fire in his garden and the smoke blew into his yard looks a professional operation though.

I ran a dropside 4x4 Transit 10 years or so ago, lousy on road and not too handy off road TBH. Twin wheel rear following a single front across mud meant you were cutting two sets of ruts. Articulation wasn't to good and the carry capacity was restricted (unless you were a tree surgeon:sneaky2:). Top speed was noisy and about 55, mpg was not too good and the noise from the tyres drumming was worse than the Landrovers. Shafts ate Uj's and they were pressed in so not DIY stuff. The exhaust was a special part so mega dear and ours was fitted with oversize wheels so tyres were not "off the shelf" and it ate fronts.

 

Having said that, I liked it's "can get there" looks and the fact that it was different.
