Thread: New 130 single cab chassis

Hi there

it took around 8/9 months for the first puma 110 to come on the second hand market.....and a single cab 130 would be even rarer unless some big companies take them on like the mines etc which I doubt

Sorry to temporary hyjack this thread but....

For vehciles to have site compliance in the Mining Industry (Surface Vehicles) they must have air bags fitted......And I dont believe the defenders have them fitted.

Underground vehciles are currently exempt but unsure for how long.....so as for the Land Rover trying to break into a huge market in Australia they have some work to do...

Even Toyota is having trouble - as we now have on order over 300 toyotas but with the 6 cylinder diesel engines (as Toyota Japan is doing a special batch for Mining Industry)

All the best

Really Scott, I would be surprised if Landcruisers have better resale. I would hang in there if I were you. There's a lot more life left in your 130 and its resale will still be good in a couple of years time. You know you don't want a Landcruiser.
