To be honest, You will be paying very Top Dollar for one with Zero rust... To be fair i doubt if one exists. Unless its a full Restoration Jobbie. There are some excellent ones out there.. its finding them. Good luck anyway... Keep searching the Adds..I did seem that one but
1) The number plate
2) On the mot checker, Nearside Rear Lower Body has slight corrosion as well as a few other minors
3) As I'm off to Finland hoping for leather heated seats (more than a wish than a requirement)
Paying topish dollar for an 80 I'd expect no corrosion on the MOT / body or am I just dreaming?

That one does have Heated seats.. It has a few toys Too.. Go with Cash and im sure you can knock him down a good way... Get a cheapo private Plate... Finland here you comeThanks for your help, to be ownest I'm not in a mad rush so trying to find "the perfect" truck, I bet in a few weeks that may change to the good enough truck.
If that had heated seats and a few other toys I'd have gone for a look, being a LandRover owner I'm used to fixing rust problems.
You might get very lucky, but you're more likely to be dreaming. If your adamant about the no rust maybe pay a bit less for one that has minor rust and price into the net cost a trip to the bodyshop to locate/ fix and waxoil the undercarriage.
Think that ones gone Chris@Trevor Do you still have that GS for sale? That has to be one of the most rust free and clean examples out there that's not already in one of our collections.
Can I come up to Chesterfield to have a look Chris!!If you fancy a trip to Chesterfield, I can show you what your ideal car might look like. And then I'll tell you how much you'd have to pay for one and the chances of finding one. I'm afraid you're going to have to adjust slightly. By that I don't mean buy a scrapper, not a bit of it, but there is another ancient Chinese proverb which says "Buy the first decent one you see - as it will not be there come the new dawn.
Karl's a great finder of these venerable motors, but other than from him or any other forum member don't buy anything until you've spoken to us. Chances are we've already seen it.
I've been to Finland twice in mine. But I have cloth seats!
