Or, this for the price of a new Corolla:



Anyone got experience of running a Maser out here? Do I even need to ask if it will shaft me through my wallet? laugh

i saw one of these on JBR a few months back and thought it was a special, but appears that merc turned the g wagen emergency concept into reality - the 4x4 squared. portal axles and everything else turned up to 11.

several on dubizzle, i'll take mine in dayglo orange or green. proper lairy, supreme levels of want.

These are insane. It makes a standard G Wagen look puny in comparison. Matte grey for me, please.

My old E36 M3 back up for sale. I loved this car and it was a cracking example. I did a few mods to it and the current owner has done a few more as he is also an enthusiast. Was going to try and buy it back a few weeks back but put a deposit on a newer BRZ last week which I collect tomorrow. If anyone wants some cheap thrills I'd really recommend this car. Great chassis and 3.0 straight six itb engine.

That was for sale about 18mths ago. I spoke to the owner but didn't view as I bought something else instead. Owner is a US helicopter mechanic and sounded knowledgable, built it himself. That car will be a hard sell for summer so reckon there could be a lot of wiggle room on price and be a good car for someone.


Anyone actually in the market for a new motor These days?
