Morning gents. I went and viewed it. Light surface rust on leaves and chassis. It’ll naturally get a coat of red anyway haha. The service history checked out - it’s done around 4K a year and been serviced at a Porsche specialist. Only thing missing was proof of belt changed so I got that within the deal. Truck was lesser spec than I wanted I.e I wanted invincible but it was an auto which I did want and mechanically it looks well cared for! I’ll do diffs, auto box etc when I get it. It drove really tight and was quiet. Seats had 0 damage and despite it being s bit old inside was really comfy. Happy chap. I can now get my dog out with me and make the most of what little time we get with them. Cheers all
 
Oil was caramel coloured still - it’s been getting s change every 4K! Coolant was really bright pink, engine was very clean.

Probably a poor description - it was still fresh is what I meant as in hadn’t gone black yet - still brown. No creaminess - I would’ve ran!
 
Looks very tidy well done :)

I'd have to paint the chrome mirror covers and door handles though :p

Cheers and agreed - looks a bit tool thieving, horse rustling, tarmac your driveway 20mm deep, fell your trees, steal your working spaniel esque. If you get my drift haha. Will get some sand titan covers and also an apple play double din for it as desperately need to have phone and nav. Shouldn’t cost much for someone to paint them. 60 quid maybe?
 
I've lusted after a hilux ever since top gear did that feature on them, tough as old boots and very reliable.

I’ve had a few early 90s jdm toyotas. They were really tough. It actually has the same interior feel as these so was a little nostalgic which was a really nice feeling. I hope it’s a good un. Time will tell

I get yer drift there ;) yeah shouldn't be too dear, only thing that spoils the jap stuff really lol
 
+1 on the hilux. As the roads are so bad here, I put my focus st in against a mk8 hilux invincible x. A lovely comfy machine with loads more space than the car. It just soaks up the bumps where the car would have been bouncing about
