its probably a double post, but how reliable is this likely to be?
... and do you think he's asking far too much?

the advert reads like its had all good stuff fitted,
I reckon it would be an absolute riot and the snow certainly wouldnt be a problem anymore- a bargain at £8k :mrgreen:

I like that....... looks awesome.

One of my friends has just bought a 57 plate Defender - LWB
and then spend £3500 extra getting a snow plough & rear gritter attached !
and 4 snow tyres.

(its for his work / large factory with fork lifts scooting about the yard)

How cool would that be driving about the roads ?

Are you thinking about this? Don't do it, I would be far too jealous! It would appear to be pretty cheap. Would be interested to find out how rusty the chassis is.
