Re: Malcolm's 1984 Patrol - Poelies Vehn
I had a Pick Up as a work vehicle. Those engines are indestuctable, and it goes!!!!!!!!!!!!
It was used a a fire attack vehicle in Forestry, the only bad thing about this vehicle is their flimsy spare wheel carrier, same as a 1400 ldv.We lost them over middelmannetjies and rocks.
Now the only difference between that and a new LC 70 is the diff locks, and the front coils. They just about look the same inside, and believe it or not the ill informed raves about the LC 70 at R 420 000 plus nearly 30 yrs after the Safari were on the market.
It just never gave trouble, but remember Rust never sleeps

Gorgeous! What engine does it have? An L28?
I am a fool for the MK/MQ series.
