Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Don't let it be so, I promised myself I will get a GU when they stop selling them. But there is no way in hell I can afford one now

Read somewhere recently that the next Gelandwagen will also have IFS.

Sad day.

the new 350 D is ready for launch

Dirk ....I think our GQ and GU will outlast us so dont worry about it ...
the Japanese has all ready launched people carrying Drones. now that is scary sh........it

I reckon my 4.8 may well outlast me. I bought it in June 2013 - going on 5 years now - and its only got 46k km on it now. If its good for 500k km, at this rate it'll still be running 50 years from now...by which I time I will have long since run out of road. I really did but it thinking it will be my last 4wd, but really knows? That Y62 is sexy! :-)

Incidentally, I'm a huge believer is beam axle-and-coil-springs but I kind of get the sense that similar debates were happening when cars went from leaf springs to coil springs... Time will tell!

Any news Tinus?

This should be good news for the value of the 2nd hand vehicles.

Thank you Tinus – the comment about the UN is very interesting.

I was in Liberia last year, the UN there only operate with Patrols, saw very limited Cruisers. In Sierra Leone again it was only Cruisers....

I saw the Y62 first in Liberia....

Ja nissan sa management need to decide if they are going to keep the diesels but they are out of stock and sold 6 new ones last year ....bad very bad
