12 valve auto.282k, 1993 so last of the no abs and no airbag specials. Vx model so has cruise control, centre console fridge with ice maker, auto lights etc etc. Now with heated mirrors!

Not sure if i will ever sell it to be honest. Would have to buy another one to replace it with, and i know the history of this one after 9-10 years of ownership.

But for the right price, hell i will drive it onto the cargo ship for ya haha

Favourite thing is this cup holder. If your center console looks similar then i will send you the file so you can find someone to 3d print one for you.

Or i can print and send it to you.

What are they worth over there ? Resto projects are 10,000 UK quids, decent ones start at 23 and seem to go up to high 30's. They all seem to have gone now.

Still kicking myself for missing this S'efrican import  at 20...

Vary from 10k so worn out shit to 40k asking price for mint ones all kitted out. Not sure if the big dollar ones ever actually sell.

Prices doubled over covid and never really came back down.

I picked mine up for 7500. Was a customer who had had it for sale for a year, but never actually parked it anywhere to sell it. He was wanting 9 to 10k for it at the time. But i am the master of the happy lowball.

Night i picked it up i drove it straight to the workshop and put a set of big end bearings in it. Have done the usual swivel hub rebuilds and replaced the bearings in the rear diff head a couple of years ago. Ideally needs new crownwheel and pinion as the hardening is nearly worn off. Doesn't get daily driven these days though so it is in the one day list.
