Nice truck.Has that one got the 3.3L motor?

[cave weta]

The little JO beddy had the 3.3 Cresta motor- the mid range like this had the Bedford 3.5 (214cu in) and the biggies had a big thirsty 300 cu in or the 330 diesel. this one does 12 km /litre

What on earth do you want it for!?

What on earth do you want it for!?

Ummm,... do I need a reason..? I could park it outside with artificial turf on the deck for my Grandson to play on... :rolleyes:

Aside from that, it would look good in my Son-in-law and daughter's company logo for carting stuff around on. www.europlumbing.co.nz Great promo vehicle for business if not wanting to use it daily. And it's a classic truck! And I like it! And... :niceone:

Well Im gonna re list it tonight on trad me. Some wanker (HANK58) pressed buy now and then decided he could not afford it!
he has been giver the appropriate feed back-

dundee15 (126 ) 31 Jul 2012 hank58 was the buyer
(#498021681)

Purchaser used Buy now and then used the same excuse that he has used on other auctions when he has not been able to come up with the money that 'His Daughter pressed buy now' Read all this traders feedback he uses a false name and frequently gives sellers excuses about not having the money and is generally an appalling trader.
