66-year-old Commer van in a field in Dorset.  Tax and MOT exempt - new battery, couple of sealed beam units and put it to work doing (very slow) removals.

Fuck a duck here's another cheap AMG merc. This is a C32 and it's even quicker than the flippin c43. No v8 though.

This would definitely blow up and ruin me.

I've been doing a bit of reading on these and even though they're thermo nuclear in a straight line  when autocar (or some such) tested them it only beat a v6 MGZ R by 1 second a lap even though they've got pretty much double the horse power. It seems to be thanks to a not all that great autobox and wobbly handling.

No brainier then: fly past on the straights then hold 'em up through the twisties…

....and then hold up the traffic as a tow truck pulls you out the bushes.

I can't believe how many of those there seems to be knocking about.

 

EDIT:  I mean those Starcraft camper things, what ever they're called.

It's like xr3i's. There seems to be 9 convertibles for every 1 hatchback for sale. Who bought them all?

 

What are these Land Rovers actually like? There's so much scene tax, life style one life bollocks about them it's hard to get a gauge on them.

This pickup is for sale with the 2.5 di engine (I presume from the transit) for £2200 and it's doesn't look to bad. I

Not sure it's a Transit engine. It'll either be the last of the old Turbo Diesel Land Rover engines, or a very early Tdi (but I think they were all Defender badged?). They're cramped, pretty uncomfortable and truly excellent off road.

Agricultural.

 

The 2.5 diesel turbo is not the engine of choice, being rough, noisy, dog slow and prone to cracked blocks and other cooling problems.  That one must be one of the last before the 200Tdi came in; 200s are a bit more money but probably worth it. The engines weren't anything to do with Transits until the Td5, after Ford bought LR.

 

You'll be wanting to bin those tyres, too.

That GSA is absolutely BRIM-FULL of win.  I'd forgotten how brilliant/mental the dash display was on these:

Colc, are you still on the Isle of Wight?  I know it doesn't have aircon but FFS just buy this and wind the window down.

 

Edit:  Hang on, that's wrong, it is/was Jersey, wasn't it.  Sorry.  You're off the hook.
