I love the way they have just cut off the spring seats and welded them back on upside down! hahaha

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...

how does it have MOT?????????

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

THIS even has an MOT!!!

no mention of the rust in the firewall and the chassis is delaminating from rust.

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.
