This is a feeler post as we might be selling our beloved crewcab. Change of work and my physical health means we need a more flexible daily driver (and a diesel) so funds need to be raised to buy a T4 which would be better for passenger access.

The truck:
We completed the body/rebuild/service work last summer and we enjoyed trouble free daily driving with trips to shows in the UK, nationwide travel and a 2000 mile round trip holiday to Germany (camping on the Eifel mountain range with lots of excursions). Until December the truck was 100% reliable but the onset of bad weather mean’t a new battery was fitted and the clutch finally died (after 2 years knowing it was on it’s way out!), now it’s been fixed and the truck will come with 12 months MOT and a clean bill of health.

Bad bits:
Yeah, there have to be a few and this truck is no exception. Being honest here as I am trying to sell the truck genuinely.

#As stated – to make it A1 the paint will need tidying due to chavs, inconsiderate drivers etc there are a few marks on the paint (but no rot!!!!)
#The towbar has no electrics. I removed the useless old ones but as I haven’t towed with it yet, haven’t replaced them.
#The dash illumination doesn’t work (everything else does – just not the lights).
#The blower motor under the dash works sporadically. I tried swapping the switch and this fixed it for a short time, now its intermittent again.
#The 4th door (drivers rear) has no check strap fitted. It didn’t have one when I bought it, but there is one here ready to fit now. 2 small spot welds and its done!

Like I said – a few niggly faults, none of them critical. I was going to tackle them in the summer when its light, dry and generally easier to work.

The bottom line. This is a great tool. It’s presentable, unique and very capable offroad. It’s tooled up with rare goodies, rust free, ready to run and a real talking point at shows/events. I wouldn’t be selling it but I need the cash LOL
