It says in the eBay advert that it came from Reekie Motors.

😆 I didn't read the ad..

Great chod tastic saloon, but an even better place name.

I hope there's a distillery in that village. Imagine trying to order that when you're a few drams in.

Set in the centre of Auchtermuchty and surrounded by the Lomond Hills, a well-known habitat of smugglers and illegal distillers – local characters include Lady Miller who kept an illicit still in the hills. The distillery was unusually built in the centre of town and pre-dates courtyard-style distilleries.

Construction was arduous, the water source, a tributary of the river Eden, channelled from the “Lovers pool” by an aqueduct. The water was extremely soft, with a distinct earthy and salty edge to it.

Wow...never even knew they existed. 

So still nearly new when it was parked up...why?

I really need to stop looking at cars.

Spotted this for sale in Cumbernauld, I went along for a look and it seemed in reasonably good condition especially compared to my other 305's so bought it and will be having it delivered this afternoon.

I'm pretty sure it'll be too shite for a roffle on here.

Nice purchase 😉   I do like the early boxy L200s and I've only ever had petrol ones  which where pretty good.

Only 6 bolts to wip the rear tub off and welding will be a doodle then with full access, I've done a few pickups as no matter what people tell you it's not just navaras that snap their chassis for fun.

That's handy! I didn't much fancy trying to weld it from underneath.

looks like a proper barn find

I think it's been parked in there since 1986.

Make youtube video, instantly make purchase price back in ad revenue. Just make sure the title mentions "WILL IT RUN?" and year/duration of storage. Tour video followed by pressure washer clean up video triples its value.

I know, finally got above 1k subscribers but need some other bullshit to actually make money from it.

4k watch hours and I believe they’ve added some other shite recently too. I swear some people think you just need to upload a single video and money starts rolling in :lol:

I mean my comment was made tongue in cheek but that's definitely how you get attention once you've made it. If it wasn't taking 1-2 years of constant content creation to gain traction I would have started long ago.
