Pre purchase 130 in Waroona WA?

[Colmoore]

G'Day All,
My search continues for a 130.
Not sure if i should be posting this here so please correct me if needs be.

Spoke to a bloke by the name of Bruce Purcell this arv re his 96 tdi. He seemed like a genuine sort of guy and new a lot about Landrovers. I really like the look of the truck he has for sale. It has has huge km's, lots of parts replaced, only a little rust in the doors and is well set up for my needs; but i live on the other side of the country![bighmmm] Its going to cost me a few bucks to get over to Perth, not to mention convincing my wife that i need to spend a 5 days getting a 20+ year old car. I don't like to be mistrustful, but you know there are all kinds of scammers out there on the internet etc etc.
Apparently his dad is a Landy buff too.
Can anyone vouch for Bruce? If you want you can pm me your number and i'll call you back.

Thanks all
Col

Maybe related to the Purcells that used to be land rover gurus?

Yes he may be. I used to use them at their place in West Perth. Good people generally from my experience. Try asking him if he's a rellie. I know one was named Chris who when they closed I think he went off to the mines somewhere.
Good luck and be very careful of a vehicle that age you haven't seen or had an expert run his eyes over it..
