I have always loved this Patrol-

It is a perfect, tasteful example of what a modified off road vehicle can be, if it is done correctly, with the appropriate technical attention paid to every detail.

too bad you didn't decide to sell it a year and a half ago, before I picked up the two I currently have.... ;)

Good luck on the sale... :handgestures-thumbup:
