BUYER BEWARE - Nissan Patrol on Gumtree
Just been browsing all the platforms as I do in hope of coming across a SWB Patrol project :naughty

Spares or Repair
It looks odd certainly, it failed on the 12th April 2018 having covered just 22 miles to it's next fail on the 13th June 2018. Then a pass on the 14 th June 2018 - for sale for spares or repair ??
I did not realise something that looks so good on the outside could be so rusty is this a Patrol trait ? Makes our Jeeps look good by comparison. Perhaps it been flood damaged at the seaside. |
I was going to ask a daft question, like how in hell's name does a truck get into that state.
Then maca probably hit it on the head with salt water corrosion.....perhaps too many boat launches and not enough hosepipe afterwards.....:nenau |
Think I will go with after around 2000/2001 they changed the paint that they applied to the motors as they all rust though so much quicker than the older ones, Rick

1994
