I have liked the look of these cars for quite a while, but could'nt find anyone importing them, had a look on the JC Imports website and saw he has 4 for sale, so ordered one to compliment my Pajero I got from him last year.

I dont think you will be disappointed with it. I have the Sport 2.5TD and it goes great on or off road....... It gave a good run against some Landies this weekend too, but the main problem was the height clearance which let it down.

I also checked out JC's site, as I bought a superb Pajero off him a few years ago and, as you would expect, he had a good selection of superb vehicles at reasonable prices.

I don't know what you paid for yours, but I've just (today) bought privately a 1996(P) 2.8TD in excellent condition, 62k miles, T &T, new tyres, 360 quids worth of flip front MP3, tow bar (unused), full manufacturers carpets etc. for less than £6k, which I think is a birrova bargain. It's certainly much cheaper than any I've seen advertised anywhere.
I'll let you know how it performs long term, but my first impressions are extremely favourable.

Happy off-roading.

EDIT - Just realised that your post is from LAST YEAR. Where've you been since?

Hi Kevin, I'm on my 3rd 3.0 V6 (must be soft in't 'ead!) and I cannot fault them. The ride is comfortable and the equipment level is good. I do around 35-40k miles a year and I tow a fairly hefty fishing boat most weekends.

Being the petrol the latest one wasn't cheap to run at 22-25 mpg, but I invested £1500 and got it converted to LPG and am now paying 54p a litre which does take the strain off the wallet.

I have to be honest, I've never off-roaded them, but when it comes down to pulling a boat and trailer out of heavy surf on soft sand or driving through rocks and dunes to find a particular fishing mark, I've never got bogged down once.

Oh, and I can still wear my suit and go calling on customers without feeling like I should be using the tradesman's entrance! Laughing

Thanks for the reply Paul, well I collected mine on Wednesday and am off to Tuscany on saturday, so I hope it is as reliable as the Paj was...

Its a fresh import with only 60,000 miles on the clock and it feels a bit stiff compared to the old Paj, but I guess it needs time to loosen up and stretch its legs a bit.

I'll post some pics of the trip if anyones interested...

Cool Kev, that looks stunning. I'm currently down in Auch in the mid-Pyrenees on a training course, off to Andorra tomorrow for the weekend, pity I don't have me Sport! Crying or Very sad

Another green Challenger in the alps, fantastic! I thought it was mine for a second Laughing

Looks in lovely nick too, well done.

Must say though it's not the best car I've ever had around some of the bends up there, even a VW Transporter handles the twisties with more confidence!
