Congratulations on your newborn mate, she's gorgeous


You might be better off making the price font size larger and in bold, its very easy to miss it initially until you mention it's location

I have had the Spec C serviced today including spark plugs, gear oil and replacement rear ARB bushes and of course a clean bill of health.

Only done 2.5k miles in 12 months since last service

Thanks for the words of confidence Rob. Indeed, i have only seen 3or 4 for sale on this forum since I have owned this one. I ride a bike to work and usually nip out in my wifes run around. The car is not getting used and circumstances change. I am actully looking for a pickup truck at present, toyota hilux or ford ranger, i didnt like the isuzu rodeo, twas a bit like a gay tractor

so, part exchanges considered on a redneck pickup truck!

Forgot to say congrats on your new arrival too, hope mum and little one are doing well!!
Funny you should mention toyotas, that's one of the reasons i have no money, I have a '88 mk3 single cab that's at my mates who's a 4x4 specialist having some much needed tlc, mainly because I drove it through too much water (well above the wheels) with no snorkel thinking I was a hero at the time, two days later servere bottom end knocking and subsequent engine transplant required! Hey ho you live and learn ay!
I know what you mean about the isuzus too, a mate has just got rid of his 11 plate silver one as he thought it was ****e, now owning a landy disco 4, very nice upgrade indeed!
Just need to locate my grandfathers ancient map with the grid ref of the money tree he once spoke of.....
