    Ah but Vlad what about the tray :wink:

    I think if it is a Heaslip it will slid off if you need to leave camp for some extra exploring [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/laugh.gif[/img]

    Although I think his price is a bit high :roll:

    The ad states: (bold type has been hilighted by me)
    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'>Defender 130 Tdi late 1999 Single Cab/Tray. One of the best thought out touring/ camping vehicles available. Extensively improved with every imaginable extra. Absolutely no expense has been spared in preparing this vehicle. It has extraordinary off road capability as well as supreme on road comfort. Features include front and rear ARB air lockers, Bull bar 10.000lb Warn winch, 5 new Michelin tyres, extensive soundproofing, custom interior, Cooma Diesel turbo upgrade, King/Koni adjustable suspension, 2 deep cycle batteries, Long range 170L Fuel, 160L Water, Custom Stainless steel tray with 2 huge lockers, Heaslip slide on camper, queen size bed, Fully equipped roll out kitchen, heaps of space, 60 l Trailblazer 12/240v Fridge. Complete Camp set up in under 7 minutes. NOTE Only travelled 20.000 klm, absolutely nothing to spend, virtually brand new condition. Reg RWC Replacement cost is over $85,000 Sacrificed at $48.000 [/b][/quote]

    Every imaginable extra :?: What about electric windows ? Carpet ? Extra power outlets ? Power take off / hydraulic pump ? And I haven;lt even kicked the imagination into overdrive yet :!:

    Absolutely no expense has been spared :?: Really ? He later says it cost $85,000 to build (if so, he got ripped off) buiy it's hardly no expense spared. He could have spent more if he had wanted to.

    supreme on road comfort :?: That's a bit of a stretch for a Defender.

    absolutely nothing to spend :?: But it is a Land Rover, right ?

    Sacrificed at $48.000 :?: For about the cost of a new TD5 130 I'd hardly call it a sacrifice :!:

    You know why he's selling it.

    On closer inspection, there is no room to store anything. Forget about clothes, toys, and the rest.

    The only storage room looks to be behind the seats, and in a single cab Defender I reckon that's enough for an axe and a shovel.

    Maybe you could hang your dress shirts in with the spare. Mmmm road dust.


    Maybe there's collapsible storage in the tent.

    Cheers

    Simon
