Been watching that for a while.. If I didn't have so much on I might be tempted. Could turn out to be a bargain.. Needs a front diff, looks like the diff lock panel is broken off. Can't quite zoom in enough on pics to tell

I'm not so sure. The pics were definitely taken in the UK, and one shows a sign in the background reading "Dunheved Motors". The location's shown as Launceston, Cornwall.

There is a Dunheved Motors in Launceston, and the header pic on their facebook page is...

i think its a genuine sale, just a bit of a money pit i reckon (arent they all? i paid 3X that for mine and god knows what ive sunk into it and i'm still going :lol: ). When it was last for sale it looked a lot more rotten. It went for cheap money though, i would have bid if i was able.

If it comes up again and anyone is interested I'll go up and have a look for you. Launceston is only an hour up the road which in Cornish is virtually next door! Could probably get Hotpod interested in a trip as well.
