Really?

There’s a thread on Facebook about it, dodgy plates welded in the chassis, imaginary owner in Spain / Instanbul selling for a friend, and pouring oil from engine and exhaust!
 
When you do Hardknott and possibly Wrynose, I'd suggest taking it out of D, put it into S and then you can use engine braking rather than relying entirely on the brakes to keep the speed down.

My mother got me to drive their Leyland Sherpa motorhome over Hardknott and Wrynose when I was learning to drive! It was character forming.
 
Thank you Guyc, that’s very useful. I go there almost every year and once in heavy rain I even burnt brakes n tyres of my Accord there. Didn’t knew this trick.
While Going down the slope, in S mode which gear should I drive the car in?

Interesting and I'm sure we'll never know how much it fetches. Looks like a lot of work to bring it up and it'll still be one of the early ones with smaller brakes, 15" wheels etc. If he puts one battery on it will click, it needs 2.

It’s looking a bit shabby now TBH, but it still goes well.
Took it down to Greece in the summer, 7-up and all our luggage on the roof. It didn’t miss a beat even though it was hot… I mean 48C type hot!

Apologies for the thread-jack, I’ll blame Shayne….

I wouldn't mind seeing that on a ramp, if its as good underneath.

A bit disappointed in the MOT history, obviously no MOT preparation considered necessary.
 
Nice condition 'Tho' Andy.... I see another seller being let down by the usual ebay scammers and No shows.....ebay is rife with it. If i was to sell my 24v 80 id put it up on this Forum only... At least you would know that its genuine interest......

Road-Legal MONSTER TRUCK! 1995 Toyota Hilux Surf Adventure Expedition Camper | eBay

This is a monster truck and not a Rolls Royce. Consequently there are squeaks, rattles, creaks and rumbles! It is very comfortable and quiet inside. I once drove for 9 hours straight in it! The ideal cruising speed is 50mph but it will do 55-60mph no problem.
