Hilux 4x4 Forum

I needed a second vehicle and so now my hilux DC has a friend ( since they come from the same stable more or less). it is a 1981 land cruiser that was rebuilt from top to tail 4 years ago. could not resist !
I see most of the hilux team is already on the landcruiser forum, so I am clearly not alone in my passion for old working cars !

Nice! Geluk, mooi wa.
Die enigste probleem met daai ou koetse is dat die drywer nat word in die reën.
Ps - wie't jou perde ge eet?

Nice
What all was done to it?

Geluk ou seun, bly die pterol prys kom ook bietjie af, los net 'n paar liters in die pomp!

Tough old Cruisers, those .... just a bit too thirsty for my liking (or pocket)

Funny !
all the horses jumped under the bonnet to get out of the rain, the driver is a bit slower.

Very thirsty, but I always wanted an old, clean classic. SO this is it. Will get younger in my store and only be used for occassional trips.

bit of this bit of that, but mostly an old clean standard, just what I wanted.

Looks nice.

As ek mag vra, vir hoeveel gaan die ou Cruisers nou ?

if you lucky you can get a fairly clean one starting at around 40k or even less ( but must know what you are looking for as there are some chancers out there...yes hard to believe but true ! :shifty: ) generally a fair condition one is about 50k-60k. It is a lot of car for not much money and if you fix a few things and look out that you do not buy a rust bucket, it should outlast you and the kids. But one has to accept that it does drink quite a bit if driven gently and drinks seriously when pressed.
mine is in a fair condition but has 300k on the clock so there are bound to be issues I however will not be using it for long tours, so will fix as needed and then maybe one day if cash allows, do a full restoration.
the 1980 and 81 of the series 60's seem to be the best in terms of holding their values.
I have been offered 20k more than I paid for it already so I could not have done too bad in the purchase I recon...but watch this space, it might be famous last words.

Thanx a lot.

Very nice Matthieu

This was'nt Dave Moore's car, by any chance??

NICE!!
