Welcome Gareth :welcomewave: :welcomewave:

What model Patrol is it that it got the wipers on the driving lights? First time I have seen these.

Cheers

Marinus

Hi, it is a 1995 TB42 Y60 with auto box
From what I understand it is a UK import (hence the wipers) so probably the only one of its exact kind in South Africa.

Hi Gareth,


Welcome to the forum.


PS. Malcolm also has a UK import. He fitted the Lexus V8 onto the auto box.

Welcome!!

I saw those light wipers on a Y61 Patrol in Toulouse in France when I was there in April.

Welcome Boet!

Ja, there was a short wheel base Y61 / GU with ZD motor for sale in jhb a few years back (Car dealer on Cedar Road), i almost bought it, it had the wipers too. Definitely european imports of sorts...

Nice Patrol bud, Enjoy the forum !
