That truck is so well engineered, the geniuses really had their thinking caps on that day...

It is falsely advertised though, given how steep the suspension arms are, its wheelbase is probably 80" instead of 90" (92.9)...

I wonder what would happen first when the rear axle articulates:
(1) exhaust pipe is crushed
(2) coil binds
(3) shocks bottom out
(4) Bump stop limits travel...

(my money isn't on (4))

I love how there are so many photos showing just how tall it is... The owner is perhaps compensating for something... and looking for a buyer with similar attributes???

Hahah i was looking at those extended bump stops thinking the same thing, they need another 6in extension on them! And i dont get the twin exhaust on a TDI200? so much weird stuff going on under that 90, its a shame really as the body looks nice.

I also love the respray where they couldn't be bothered masking the dash...

The UK, "construction and use" regulations are VERY lax.

THIS even has an MOT!!!

There you go ;)

At today's exchange rate it's about AU$6500. Probably a reasonable price - you'd need to unengineer a few bits tho.:angel:

I find the 5 star minimum before you bid, or it will be cancelled a bit rich( I have 4).

Oh thanks for reminding me. 6 rattle cans of Heritage Green from Bunnings, and a jar of Vaseline for the bits I don't want the overspray to stick to.:)
