With books, tells us it's had a good owner. Thats a great start to your ownership. Well done..:cool:
I see you are in Geelong. Was it word of mouth?? I keep an eye out- but owning 2 is my limit...

It was word of mouth David. I'm happy to say that I put Shane on to that one. :D From what I've been told, the previous owner (from new) was very fussy with it, and it's factory NON-a/c........bonus !!!!

Shane,
Sorry I haven't been over to check it out yet, but I was pretty tied up over Easter and I've just had surgery on my hand , but I do intend to catch up with you soon. I'm guessing you got it on the road ok.
Hope you don't mind me posting a pic.

Cheers, Murray

I haven't seen it in the flesh yet, but from talking to Shane and the original owner, this County sounds like just the one you want to find if you're looking for a one owner, clean, original example that hasn't been used off road.
And it's gone to a good home.
As much as me and my friends have made fun of the County 'Poo Brown' colour in the past, it actually doesn't look too bad when they're in good nik. I told Shane to expect a bit of a ribbing about the colour, but it's all in good fun :D.
Next thing is to get it out in the bush...........the good thing about the colour is, you wont even know it's dirty ;):D:D

Cheers, Murray

Oh and. i don’t know if its the picture or not, but maybe the paint is faded. my red one ( ok) faded quite bad and quite fast. Mr ho har made a comment that polishes are maybe not what they used to be. Seems he was correct, a light cut and polish with mold release wax from any fiberglass suppliers. For that glow that don’t go. down side is now i have more blugers asking for smokes and beer.

Shane called around in his 'new' County yesterday, and I can now confirm what I thought before seeing it. It's one of the best examples of a 'one owner' Isuzu County I've seen. I can't believe how clean it is, especially the engine and the under side of the car. Hardly a drop of oil to be seen, diffs are dry etc etc.
The tail lights and wheels will be changed back to original, but apart from these minor things, it's pretty much 'untouched'.

You got yourself a good one there Mate.
