I've only gone and defected!

[Chris]

Having been restructured recently, I decided to take the cash alternative instead of a company car. Really for two reasons. A. I get to choose anything and B. because with this job I use the train more and do less car miles.
Of course it does now mean that the green 80 is going to be up for sale. Sniff.
I could tantalise for a bit, but nah.

Here it is. You might be just a little surprised.

 

[AndyCook]

Ohhh lovely, verra nice,
Got a nice canopy with it too - towbar ?

 

[AndycruiserguyLomas]

Nice, new 2.4??

 

[Chris]

Got a bar but never had a ball fitted.

Not 2.4 Andy no, it's a whole 3.0l 15 plate, one owner, 30K on the clock, dealer maintained, new tyres, just serviced. Manual too. I tried the auto, thought it was lovely, drove the manual and liked it even more.

 

[Gary820]

Very nice. I do like the hilux.

Now wondering why I didn't think of doing the same when turned down the company car

 

[Seagull-russ]

[Chris]

[Firewout]

Great truck!
Easily convertible into a camper.

 

[chadr]

Very nice , love the colour - makes it really stand out.

 

[Chris]

Yes, I'll be able to find that in the car park for sure.

 

[clivehorridge]

Dunno what to say...

Can't deny it's appeal.

What will you do with it Chris, keep and use it as it is?

 

[chadr]

What will you do with it Chris, keep and use it as it is?

Almost spit my coffee all over the keyboard when I read that!

I'm expecting it to look similar to this before long......

I must admit, I said it a bit tongue-in-cheek, but you never can tell with Chris

how much are you selling the 80 for? and what is it? cheers

 

[Chris]

I'm driving it as is. I will say this only once more. It's a car. A daily drive and for shooting. So it will have a spray liner job in the back, maybe BFG AT at some point and probably and Andy style hidden winch mount. But it has to stay as a car. I need forest track capability, clean seats and space to throw kit in the back. Sometimes you have the occasional slip off the track and having a winch is mostly about self recovery when I'm on my own.

Billy I don't really want to turn this thread into a for sale thread if that's OK. I am serious about selling it but to do that I really need to put up a proper advert. I'll PM you some details if you are serious and you can have first refusal. But it's a super 80 and not going cheap.
