1997 Mistubishi L200 single cab 4x4 pickup
MOT until Sept '15
2.5td 88bhp model
122k miles
Average condition in line with age: a couple of dents here and there, seats are stained etc, couple of small holes on the wheel tubs in the bed. Randomly rusty OS front wing. Home made bed cover and aftermarket radio/CD player, centrelines fitted with 31 x 10.50 r 15's. Tow bar fitted (never used).
Came to me with pretty good history including a full engine rebuild although I think it had been stood. Since having it I've done glow plugs, filters, new belts, antifreeze change and a new gearbox side mount (typical L200 issue) - whatever needed to keep it reliable for 80 mile daily commute and tip runs.
It does drop spots of oil (who knows from where - I've cleaned it all off and tried to find it!) and smells oily on cold start (loses/burns 1 ltr every couple thousand miles) but it has never, ever let me down on the 8000 miles I've done in it over the past few months and I'd drive anywhere (clunks, rattles 'n' all) without worry. Could do with tracking as I lowered the front back down after a previous owner raised it way past what is sensible. Rev counter works when it feels like it. Centre prop bush could do with replacing.
I'm starting a new contract beginning Jan so I'll be taking receipt of another company car, therefore I won't need this. I've probably made it sound a whole bunch worse than it is, but it is a 17/18 yr old pickup truck!
£1500 Ono as a basis to start haggling, I'm open to offers and handy with a kettle.
Collection from Swindon area.

Cheers all :-)
