2002 collie or 2003 120 ??

[AndycruiserguyLomas]

Toyota has no recorded service history apart from a timing belt change at 153k. This one is not for me.

Have had a word with the vendor, ringing at 12 tomorrow to view. Not D4D apparently but goes well. Been hankering for a Collie for a while but wanted a black one and D4D but this is of interest so we will see.

With an intercooler and those rims it's almost certainly an import.

 

[AndycruiserguyLomas]

Yes it's an Oz import. Its the GXL spec which is more the base model.

I might have found a good one but not sure if it has any lockers or the d4d engine given its spec level.

Will be having a look this weekend.

That looks to me to be a TD FX

 

[chadr]

Yes, (very) similar to Andy Cook/CWC's "WUGG".
Not a d4d, though you may have a rear locker. Whether it works or not is another matter ;-)

I agree. I didn't want to say at first, but it is a bit pricey. I paid £5800 for Swampy if that helps you pick the bones out of it. When I had the HPI check done it came back with a book price of £6800 with mileage considered. What it hadn't considered was the very noisy front axle and faulty air con. Oh and the missing headrests

edit - Swampy is a 2002 D4D LWB GX with pretty much a full Toyota service history except for the last 12000miles ish and about 140000miles I think I actually can't remember how many miles she's done, it may be 10000 either side of that!!!

Please keep the comments coming and don't hold back as I don't want to spend over the odds if i can help it.

Does this look a better deal?

All that is on the wish list is

AC/Climate control if possible
Cruise control
Automatic
Diesel d4d engine

Doesn't look like a GX, where's the arch flares?

Don't think it's a D4D either, the CO2 rating on DVLA is wrong.

 

[David]

That looks like another FX to me

Here is a slightly off the cuff idea. What does it take to convert this back so it has a second row as it looks good.

Im not sure the legal aspects of commercial vehicle etc.

 

[chadr]

You may want to check that all the seat and seatbelt mounts are present - I'm not sure whether they do on the commercial models. The other stuff can be sorted but the mounts might be a problem.

 

[warrenpfo]

From a legal perspective would it be registered as a commercial vehicle and so illegal to have the rear seats or would i have to re register it?

 

[silvercruiser]

is this another import? its on a Y plate, so should be d4d. and the chrome mirrors.

 

[greengrass]

Its probably come over from Ireland, not all of the commercials are factory models. Lots of them are converted over there, I believe they have to remove the rear seatbelt anchors to comply.

Bob on here runs a commercial in Ireland he would be able to confirm that for you.

 

[yogi]

It really depends on how long ago it was converted, pretty much removing the seats did the job until about 3 years ago.

Now you have to weld up all the holes, MOST of the time, and it will be virtually impossible to convert back. You'd just have to have a good look at it in the flesh.

 

[silvercruiser]

What about this Warren

[warrenpfo]

Looks to be an honest advert if not a little expensive i think

Hey Warren. My boss is looking to sell his wifes D4D Collie. There is a chance that you have actually seen it around Maidenhead - It is dark green with a personalised numberplate. I dont have too many details just yet... I was supposed to take some pics and the details and put them up on here on thursday, but i was in a bad mood and it hit 5 o'clock... Anyways, I will try to get the info on it on monday, and send it to you.

What I do know:
Dark green, VX
D4D, Auto
Boss has had it from new
I did not notice anything funny when i drove it last
I very much doubt it has missed a service
It is within spitting distance from your house

I will try to get the rest of the info for you monday night.

P.s. Bosses wife now has a 120... XD
