Sort of, but its a bit tall to stick the ladders on top! Was referring to Alibro's Bertie thread - mind you the wheels from that truck might suit?

I went and had a look at a 3 door tonight. I don't think I've ever really seen 1 up close before - at least for a long time anyway - don't see many over here.
I thought it looked really good - much better than they do in pictures - the proportions of it looks good.

Its a '98 K Series 50th Anniversary model with HGF and an auction start price of £1,200.

Nice looking motor. So long as heads are available for not too much dosh (worst case) it should be an easy fix for a man of your skills.

Only problem is Mrs Grumpy says NO! Which would not necessarily be a reason not to buy it, if her reasoning (cash needed elsewhere) was not so good.

Pah! If I listened to Mrs Alibro every time I went to buy a car I wouldn't have bought anything.
Mind you on reflection.........
Mind you on reflection.........
The 'proportions' is the key - it's what impressed me when I saw a yellow one with the back off in a car park along with colour. I think yellow is ace but it might be overbearing after a while; red is superb. It was because of the Yellow one and words of wisdom from Nodge that I went looking but I confess I was looking at Vitaras too.
What the Kalahari really needs though is a fastback hardtop and is something I have not seen.................. like on this Jimny
Absolutely. It would look superb.Neat boot cover for the 3-door there - someone should make something similar for the Hippo!

That boot cover looks OK 'from a distance' in the top and bottom pics - but close up in the middle pic - it looks rather naff!
I'm sure that a company like Honeyborne could do something rather beater in finish.
The ideal for me would be something you could also stow in the boot...
Or both!

I believe the Di is supposed to be more reliable but the rest of the car will be that bit older and unless your lucky it will be a high miler.

Alibro and Helijonh....thank you.
Thats what i was thinking.....even the injector pump is mechanic in the Di,something that the Td4 dosen't have.
But,i love the Automatic gearbox,so will be a big dilema.....

Yep. Very reliable and virtually bomb proof. No auto option though. I think that making an auto L series is possible, but very expensive too.
