The £500 Syncro Doka

Post by jed the spread »

Well we found one, big thanks to Russel @ Syncronutz for the tip off (crate of guiness coming your way soon).

It was a imported from japan new and bought by the national trust. It spent its first years maintaining a castle in kent then the fella we just bought it off bought it 10 years ago for 2 grand and he worked on a stately home for 9 years collecting logs. It has been stood for a year were we then whacked it on a pick up and got it home. He had some fella in Arundel look at it but wanted us to have it because Neil my mate is going to restore it and use it for work like i do as well as a few trips out with you good folk. Its 2.1 engine runs sweet as a nut and all seems well no leeks, clean coolant, front and rear diffs seem to be stuck as they were never used but best of all no rot.

Just goes to show there are a few bargins lurking under bushes :lol:

That's what I paid for my DOKA (same colour) in 1998 except mine had a 1.6TD engine in bits and missing a front drive shaft.
I hate to think how much I've spent on it since - I could probably retire!

Perhaps they'd all been drafted to Telegraph hill, Exeter. 200 people stuck over night because of 2" of snow. Things must of been bad.....Torbay had no morning papers!! :evil:
