New beast!!

[AlexS]

Collected it today been on the lookout for a while, its a late 1991 J plate (has a mint private plate on it though), 106k full service history with masses of receipts, the later better 200tdi lump, highlift kit (Springs and shocks), 4 ton power winch, proper snorkel, huge f**k off wheels and 'grizzly claw' tyres. Its in mint very original condition and I ve cleaned it up this afternoon and its come up very well.
Will get some more pics when I get it muddy

Its a beast, had to be the real deal didn't want any mickey mouse version.

Lol, its mint, driving the lupo is like making love to a beautiful women though after this beast the sus kit and big wheels make for interesting handling.

[madhops87]

Best thing we bought for the farm! They don't loose their value either.

[Beef-Mc]

How much did you pay for it?

WOuld love something like that, just to say I'd owned one!

 

[Jamesl172]

sweet - my mate bought one last year as a project...had a 2.5 diesel in it and he has just bought a V6 to put in it plus a load of other stuff

Lol get piss off! I think its got the same suspension fitted as the FPM seems a similar ride height.

Thats the plan, although a few little niggles to sort first -its already marked its territory all over dad's new bricket drive LOL.

Its worth somewhere around £3k (I didn't pay that though lol), what attracted me to this one was all the kit on it.

Parts are so cheap, this a project, my brother though really.
This has the 2.5 Turbo Diesel in it, its not as slow as I was expecting but it sure isn't quick, im hoping it will do 25mpg.

Sick of people laughing at the size of your car?

That beast must be for Dorset because i can't see it being much use in Notts, unless you're going to drop 26's on it

Got it muddy today! Went up to Minstead in Lyndhurst to a pay and play:

http://www.muddybottom4x4.com/

A few pictures here, only had to be towed out twice.
All that time spent PCing the bonnet was wasted :lolup:

 

[Bluebeard]

Drop it around Rich's house for a detail! lol

 

[fUbAr]

looks like a good laugh, bomb proof too! :approve:

 

[kiza1986]

You PC'd the thing lol?? Why??

 

[Gary G]

haha that looks like real good fun!

 

[AlexS]

You PC'd the thing lol?? Why??

He would be horrified! I did the bonnet with the PC as it was heavily oxidised and I wanted to get a shine back on it, single stage paint though so the pad went blue!

looks like a good laugh, bomb proof too! :approve:

haha that looks like real good fun!

Its great, not brilliant on the road but it begs to be driven slowly which is good for the mpg and license! In an age of speed cameras and police cars everywhere its amazing to find somewhere where you can bomb around a muddy field all day full of obstacles for just £25! The marshalls even pull you out when you get stuck! Best fun i ve had in a car for ages!

 

[Marky_]

Ha. That looks mental fun!

[Marshallahsram]

[Leeshez]

[Ali]

You could fit the lupo inside it! lol

Amazin things, we had a S1 many moons ago for the hills. used to pull 40+k rangy's out the mud! ha!

 

[AlexS]

Nice.

Cheers.

Lol, I did tow out a few mickey mouse Jap vehicles! To be honest though if you have the right tyres and a decent lift kit you can have alot of fun in most things. There was a very capable hilux up there but the Suzuki vitara on road tyres not so much!

Its a really good site and theres some very decent kit up there. There was a Defender the same as ours with £27k's worth of receipts!

I could probably drive under it if I got some coilovers!

One of my best mates has several S1's, they are great fun, bit bumpy though. He's currently hunting for a v8 S1 hybrid on coils
