Any market for 101's?

at one point in time I was interested in a 101...then...to be honest I decided that if I were wanting a forward control type vehicle i would rather have a Unimog.

Info on the 101 I am bring over
1982 RHD 101
This has to be one of the finest examples we have had, totally exceptional condition throughout for year, GS model just fitted with an extended truck-cab roof canvas (brand new) with opening roll up rear window. The truck has the rest of the rear tilt bars in the back if you wish to run a full canvas.

The paintwork is so tidy it is hard to tell wether it has been sprayed or brushed. (very little paint build up), lovely staright panels and the rear floor is just perfect condition compared with others you see. For last mot the truck had all new wheel cylinders / master cylinder and shoes from the 101 club. Big job and costly, so nice to know these have only covered a handful of miles.

Truely remarkable condition throughout and a super drive with great V8 power.

Its a nice add but mentions nothing of the important things you need to know about a 101.

Brake shoes are the same as the bigger 6 pot brakes on a 109. Nothing special there. The master cylinder can be replaced with one from the 109 with the addition of a small adapter piece for the brake pipe instead of the reservoir.

Paint is paint and if that is all you looked at you're in for some suprises. A MOT means pretty much nothing other than basic safe operation and emissions.

Great V8 power is 135hp in stock form. It rather brings the cynic out in me regarding the rest.

Passed the pre buy by a 101 club member with flying colors. So hopefully it's a good 101.

One Question-how is it an '82 anyway? I was under the impression that production at Land Rover ended in '77-'78? No mention of the winch- how is that? Have you see this yourself or are you buying it sight unseen?

[derekchace]

No winch. Payed for a pre buy buy some 101 club members and had some family take it for a test drive. all came back very positive

Try a Volvo c303, even better for every day use IMHO. Will go better with your Saabs too.
