Looks like a good starting point for a project. Be interesting to see what the sale price reaches.

It was on eBay recently, he probably bought it and then realised the amount of work.

'Hi the 4WD appears to be working , I haven't touched the van , the issues included speedo not connected , dodgy doors , extent of rust , all of which I've mentioned.
If I get what i paid for it plus the tax i'll be happy ..Paul'

Oh dear! Viewed it yesterday with a prospective new Syncronaut, as I'm camping just 5 miles away.
Breaking value only. Extensive rust throughout. Last receipted big work is turbo replacement 2006. 6 weeks to MOT. Components missing, disconnected, dripping fluids. Didn't even bother trying to start it! Battery out and flat to top it off. Walk away unless you're CJ like!
