Bit of background to my purchase.
Originally I was looking for a clean early D1 but all examples were full of tin worn and not really apprealing.
I wanted an Auto that was a make or break imho so pretty much all D1's bar a few were discounted.
After initially giving up and looking for something differen't a nice looking Silver/gold D2 showed up on the Autotrader with 181k and an Auto box..
Yes I must of been mad but the test drive and initial inspection showed a sound vehicle unto which i can build!!
A rather large cash deposite and a Part ex sold me the vehicle, Unfortunately i had to wait for a week, as most of you know!!
Anyway she's back with me now.
The project will commence!
Maybe even a Re-chassis in the future
Specs.
1999MY 2000 registered Blenheim silver D2 GS.
Ash smokestone interior
Standard GS
7 seater
Coil conversion
cruise control
sunroof(s)
16" Alloys
4 wheel tracs
side steps
Arch spats
etc etc
here she is.
This is pre clean/polish
Stock TD5
Engine oil was very clean for a Diesel probably the cleanest i've ever seen, this is after the 90mi round trip
More to come tomorra.
Chassis clean up will start!
Once my Kurust arrives
