Back in a Syncro

Post by ghop99 »

Evening All

Just collected this today and really happy with it. I had the same model that had been converted to hightop a while back but it always felt a bit unstable so moved it on. Plan is to put a pop on it at some stage but in no rush. Still has seven seats, has had an LPG conversion and a de-coupler fitted. Haven't had much off road experience but hope to get out and about in this, kids, wife, life permitting....

Hope to see you around in it :ok

Cheers

Greg

Ha, yes mate, that's the one. That now lives just down the road from me, its new owner did it proud with a huge tour around Europe in it. While it was a HT I regretted selling the truck as soon as it was driven away so when I saw this one I had to have it.

I am still crap at the mechanical side of things though! :wink:

Thanks! Yeah the caravan we ended up with just didn't cut it. I'll promise to try and make a meet sometime.

That Mrmule I have no clue of. Your welcome to take a peak. All I know is it came from Syncrospares then fitted by the last owner.

I've been reading a bit about them recently. I'd love to try one with a solid shaft/no VC, and compare to mine. Also like that it likely protects the VC on long windy journeys...
