This is a great example of classic that has been modified for outback rallying, the previous oner had developed this vehicle over 20years of rallying to be a very strong and reliable vehicle. I have owned the vehicle since 2018 and as a result of health, work and COVID getting in the way I haven’t been able to use the vehicle as intended, now it’s time for it’s next owner to use it and take it
forward.
Listed below are the features of the vehicle, it is stored in a warehouse in Melbourne (Moorabbin) out of the weather. This is a genuine sale adverHsed for the rally communities first. The vehicle is on Victorian club plates so will be sold unregistered and without a RWC.
