Love it. The old Kontiki had gauges with actual needles but nothing as handsome as that.

Not sure what the video in the ad regarding headaches, dizziness and Bernard Cornwell was about though.

That a cracker Kev shame it's left hand drive but then that would appeal to snowbirds.

What a beauty.

Auto box will be old school torque convertor. Turbo will be aftermarket one, probably TB turbo. Looks like its got a rear diff lock too.

Actually, I have a search for LHD automatics Rob, it popped up on that, if I can drive a RHD over there, a LHD here shouldn't be a problem, but that one is for serious collectors, I think. Where would you get spares too.

I think it has air suspension too.

Not sure what the left pedal is, and could that be gas pedal lock almost invisible?

Ah yes, I can just see the wheel arch behind it.

And this?

I wondered about that myself Kev, maybe it slides on the rail to go underneath one of the pedals and locks into place as a security measure?

Having said that though it doesn't really look long enough for that.

230.000km in 2017 then goes to 763mls in 2018 now 38,771mls and it doesn't have a bad mot record really..

 

[Pudsey Bear]

MOT testers put in the mileage; some can barely talk, so typos are inevitable, but that's a bit odd.

more than likely another speedo.

 

[Phantom]

Speedo changed at 245,000km, so it has done about 192,000 miles now.
