Three speed manual, carby fed 250 cross flow, really good ute no leaks, new tyres all round rego till end of the month, only reason I have to sell it is because we need something more suited for our baby

Seriously? When you have different manufacturers for engines, gearbox's and rear axles!

It was convenient that your identifying post followed straight after the photo's though

I had already posted my comment before I saw the photos !! .I am not going to make anymore comments in light of your tendency to delete comments that you don’t agree with.I do not appreciate being accused of lying by yourself or any one else.

Yes, last carby crossflows were March 1993 like my van but that ute does NOT have the last changed version of indicators repeaters on the guards behind the front wheel.

I'm saying earlier that 93.

Again Tonz What year is it ??
