I need a cool looking 4x4, can be non runner. Not totally smashed up, OK with a little damage. Its for an adventure golf course, with a sort of Jurassic Park theme.

Can be anything from a Vitara to Landover, but ideally safari / off road feel. Ideally already painted in a safari or rescue colour. It will be a static display, budget 0-£1000 but needs to get to Wolverhampton.

Any ideas welcome....

Haha this an amazing find job done!

Now all he has to do is offer a more realistic price (£300?) and find someone to drag it up North.

Just goes to show that there is a market for anything, no matter how ridiculous.

Turns over slowly but doesn't fire up, and been sitting a while, could just be a battery with too low a voltage to be able to do anything useful regarding spark/injectors when under the load of turning the starter?

A jump start might well be all that's needed.

Have a browse of your local Facebook marketplace groups. There often stuff like that on there.

Have you spoken to him yet OP?

Do I get some free rounds of adventure golf as a finders fee?

So - slight change of plans. That car was miles away, and not really tough enough looking.
Your link lead me to this, which I have just driven 2.5hrs back to site. It’s a shame to scrap it as it drives very well, no warning lights and all seems to work. Not bad for £900

I'll hold you to that, the wife and I love minigolf!

Best of luck with the new (ad)venture.
