Most of them were, as it was the easiest way to get a 308 TH400. The other way was a BO6 pack. Otherwise you'd wait for months like you do now for special orders (eg I waited 5-6 months for a VY SS ute in white with black leather trim). And most Overlande |

I'm sure the cross8 is much more practical too right, driving manners, more torque, economy, less effort for the same power etc, is it a good car byron?
If nissan motorsport is nismo, then doesn't that make honda motorsport Homo?

Is it an original one ie made when new, or was it done as a secondhand vehicle? Arthur sold plenty of kits and converted heaps of secondhand cars too. That is the first non-Sandman van Overlander i've seen if it's an original series 2.

Young and Green.
They are underpowered compared to a Range Rover. But you'll never see one with a broken gearbox or diff! Bolt in a 350 or 400 Chev and it'll eat a Rover. The short front leafs do affect off-road ability, much like in a Hilux.
