Can you buy a 4WD for a dollar?
So, after much deliberation I’ve decided that I have to sell the Land Rover. Sad to see her go — she’s been a good fun runabout — but circumstances dictate that she has to go. This Land Rover Trade Me Auction has a $1 reserve, so I’m sure she will sell. Setting a ridiculously low reserve should attract interest and means that someone (you?) can get a really good deal.
There’s more photos below…
I took the photos in a hard Christchurch frost, so in these shots show a bit of steam coming from the exhaust.
I’ve been surprised by the quality of the Holden 186 in her — apart from replacing the distributor a couple of years ago when the old one seized up she’s required very little attention. There are no oil leaks and she doesn’t burn oil at all.
And here’s a shot of the certification plate, showing the changes made from the original spec. Click the photo for a larger view.
And finally a shot of the bench seat in the back. There are two inertia-reel (retracting) seatbelts fitted for the rear seat occupants.
