:text-+1:, plus a note regarding whether they plan to be operational again, or scrapped for parts.... :D
Ok I will add them soon enough. Plus the 5-6 vin plates sitting on the shelf of already scrapped Patrols. One thing I will never ever toss out on a Patrol is the vin plate! :)


And yes Rob, pre-60 series had a full float rear axle, center pumpkin on rear diff and a 4spd trans with a 1st gear of something like 7.5:1. Ya know what they say, they just don't make em' like they used to! ;)

Cheers

Now that's what I'm talking about... 8-)

People think I imported my Marks5 for the overdrive... but in reality I wanted that low 1st gear :twisted:

Yes any tub is rare Leslie, the one I have was the first one I've seen in person, The Extra long bed ones are no doubt harder to find as they were only produced in 1979 as Stated :) Well I hate to break it to you but a mate out West has this sitting at the tip on His station

Very cool. 8-) Too bad it's trashed. I'm sure there were others that were made besides the one I have, finding them is the trick. You're always good at finding the rare stuff though. ;) So, that makes mine the only known working one left, until you find another working one. :D


I see some parts I'd like to have. :twisted:



And I still says it's the rarest Patrol model. :mrgreen:
Beyond any hope for intervention
