Thread: Isuzu Landies in various marketplaces

Copies of Isuzus made in China have been talked about for a while now - they possibly could be OK but I personally don't have the resources, time or interest to undertake the experiment so I'll stick with the Isuzu factory stuff while it remains available.

The one in the ebay pic doesn't look like the 4BD1s we have here.

It does wear an "Isuzu" brand ...

Interesting to be aware of though

How so?

You do know the Chinese and Japanese use the same characters? I am not enough of a language expert to know the difference. Are you?

There is nothing on that motor to suggest it is anything other than a genuine Isuzu 4LB1 engine.

It doesn't look like a 4BD1 because it's not a 4BD1. It's an Isuzu 4LB1 which is well under half the size. 1.5 litre displacement.

The Chinese copies (licensed or otherwise) of 4BD1's and 4BG1's are very different to the Isuzu originals. You could never mistake one for the other.

Tidy looking 4BD1 with 500k on the clock on gumtree.

Hi,
Are all the prices for these county's about what i can expect to pay for one or are they all asking to much? I've been looking around for awhile and have been really struggling to find one for under 10k which i think is alittle steep 25+ year old car?

Cheers,
Matt

If you are patient, you will be able to find one - but don't expect it to be perfect. I looked for quite a while, and since I've had one there have been some really good ones come up for sale. Is everyone asking too much? Maybe, but it is all supply and demand I guess. FWIW I would be laughed off aurlo if I posted how much money it would take for me to let go of my 110

there was/is one at maitland for 7k but it has 495,000 kms
