garethj Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 Fifteen grand, and you’d probably get a better return on your investment with shares in Ratner’s jewellery shops, but just look at it! https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353373435786 ProgRocker, willswitchengage, face and 6 others 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a time in the 1990s when you could pick up these for as little as 10 grand, as they weren't thought to be very desirable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the is auto is a bit of a turn off having that fantastic v12 matted up to a General Motors three speed slusher. I bet some clever person could get a getrag 6 speed in that without too much hassle* given it already mates up to a GM gearbox.

It's also clearly badged as a 2.0TDI yet the seller is convinced it's a 1.8TDI. An engine I don't think exists. I think this is the best* part though: Quote other than oil light pressure and turbo everything else is in good working order. Aye, mate.

Last time I made it to France for a climbing trip there was a guy near us on the campsite who had traveled from the UK in a 3 series but was sleeping in a hammock with a very rudimentary rain cover over the top. I can see that Panda being a far more comfortable proposition in the evenings or in the event you get rained off for a few days.

Supernaut Posted March 13, 2021 Share Posted March 13, 2021 Seems nice in theory, but try anchoring that on soft ground. That overhanging bit seems to be only supported by the ladder! Then there's the faff of climbing into a tent at ground level, imagine that faff but at the top of a ladder... It seems like an answer to a question nobody asked. Why not just take a conventional tent with you? Those roof tents do have their uses in specialist circumstances, mind. Like those ones you see on massive extended wheelbase 4x4s in the Serengeti, so you want to sleep up there so you don't get eaten by the local wildlife. Otherwise they just seem silly.
