I won it for about \u00a3250 from memory and it was located in Sterling. We decided to take the train up there and then drive up to Dundee to visit my brother in law.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t do public transport and felt ill for most of the journey.. When we got there the vendor met us at the station, a few details changed hands and we were off..<\/p>\n<p>First impressions were not bad, it looked solid enugh, ran very well and drove ok. There was a throb from the transmission at speed though.<br \/>I took stock when I got to dundee and found that the front and rear tyres were different sizes. So next day a new pair were on and I was \u00a350 lighter!!!<\/p>\n<p>I also discoverd no Air filter!<\/p>\n<p>We did a few shows over the summer, and did some mileage! She was a good comftble car. She did steam up lots but the 4&#215;4 was fantastic. <\/p>\n<p>At MOT time she failed on corroded floorpans, that took a few days of welding to sort but eventualy she passed \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>But as winter drew in funny noises were comming from the front end on motorways and I eventualy sold it on. The new owner replaced the wheel bearings which fixed that!!!<\/p>\n<p>I did get to see her again when another club member brought her back to collect a turbo kit.<\/p>\n<p>She looks quite good in the photo above and I realy did quite like her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CRL was an ebay special.
