Got a 200tdi with 80K on the clock if your interested? Only thing is you have to take the rest of the vehicle with it -- L Reg 110 Hi Cap Pick Up that needs a new chassis, bodywise its fine - was bought as hobby/project but havent had time or extra cash to do it up, its yours for £950. Can post pics if your interested.

typical!!

 

Truck im after and the right colour!

 

But im way down south and they seen to be like hens teeth!

 

they have either been round the clock or beaten to s***e!

 

Is the whole chassis shot? or just the rear x/member /outriggers?

Is the whole chassis shot?

 

Yes, tap a small hammer on any part of the chassis, chances are it'll go straight through.

 

Reckon the previous owner was a shepherd/farmer, seen that kind of corrosion in farm Defenders in the past. Bought it with the intention of fitting a galvanised chassis.

 

This is what most of it looks like -

failed mot due to chassis, no tax. But it is drivable, probably not a good idea to take it out on the roads though.

logistics on pick up wouldnt really justify

 

Someone will snap that up loads of life left in the rest of it!

200 tdi is a good unit 2oomls plus on the ones bombing about n still working for a living
