Datsuncog Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Hey, that's not undergrowth, that's overgrowth... Still, the 140-series grille with the integrated driving lamps looks salvageable - look forward to more pics of the retrieval/spontaneous disintegration!

It doesn’t fall to bits when moved. Theres anything useable left on it. There’s a very good chance it may fall down on all three of these deal-breaker issues. I might just salvage what I can and leave the rest for the bin man tbh. I know someone who's been after the rocker switches from the dash for the foglights, hazards, window demister etc for ages if they're any good.

junkyarddog Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Had to replace the rear wheel cylinders on my 205,they had started to leak,these are about 5 years old and have about 10k on them. Can't say I'm overly impressed with the quality of parts these days. Cord Fourteener 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I get to bring this back today. Ram CLASSIC BASE. It has an options list that's very short. Vinyl seats, steel wheels, unpainted plastic bumpers, rubber mats, switch blanks, the lot. It's even last year's model (hence Classic). It does have a bed protector and side steps. I think those are the only options. Phil Supernaut, DVee8, Jerzy Woking and 17 others 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 If you want really silly, in Florida, it seems you can drive anything you like as long as it's classed as an RV. I'd want at least a bit of training before driving something that enormous! bobdisk, richardmorris and somewhatfoolish 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crew cab is standard on the run-out models- evidently they have more of the bodies to shift. You would need air brakes endorsement for that contraption, plus I think it's a little over max gvw for a class E license. You can definitely drive a coach based RV on a car license though. You can kinda see why though, that brown truck drives just like a car. It's comfy, quiet and has a decent enough haul/tow set of statistics (Just over a half ton haul, 5.2 ton tow, about the same as a Sprinter), which is the entry level weight, the 3500 HD can haul 3.8 ton and tow 18.5 ton.

cort16 Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 I was posting the keys of my BMW through the garage letter box last night as I'm trying to get the aircon on my BMW fixed and noticed an Allegro inside the garage. I decided to go down to check on my BMW/sniff out this allegro at lunch time it was an absolutely mint burgundy 20,000 miles series one deluxe that was in for some work. I sold my old Allegro to the guy who owned the garage so between the two of us there was a lot of Vic Reeves style Allegro trouser rubbing. So much infact I forgot to take a picture of it. It also turn out the AC condenser on the BMW is goosed. dome, Split_Pin, Datsuncog and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's an f750 chassis with an f350 body grafted on, fancy wheels and fabricated steps etc. Which is great. PhilA and SiC 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's probably the nicest one I've seen. The series three I had and sold to the guy with the garage was nice and has a similar low mileage but a lot of the cool touches in the S1 had been removed by the time the S3 came out. dome and Split_Pin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I love that it's been such a failure they've pulled the plug already. Delicious. But also lovely to know how many Mercedes A-class and Vito owners are driving around with the Renault engined Mercs. Oh the shame.

I guess they thought they'd got away with it with the vans so tried it on with the pickups. The issue is the pickups aren't driven by plumbers and builders they're bought by company bosses looking for tax dodges. beko1987 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
