Smiler Posted November 16, 2009 Author Share Posted November 16, 2009 Now that is an idea. Not only that, but due to the ever present tin-worm, my van has had the bottom foot removed aswell. That scruffy Saracen, would it be a useable scruffy one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambo1969 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 If you buy a lorry, you could convert it to a camper and sleep in the back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz76 Posted November 16, 2009 Share Posted November 16, 2009 Never give up hope of an Explorer etc. Smiler. Mine cost me 1500 but that was over a decade ago. You never know what you'll stumble across. Good luck with the search mate and let us know what you find. Daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Cheers folks, the back of a Comer Q4 would make a rather large impressive tent. I'm not sure what some of the campsites might make of it mind. I'll keep my eyes peeled whilst saving up. I'll have plenty of time to look judging by the current state of my financial affairs! I'll just have to knuckle down with the present crop of projects and get them moved on. Cheers, Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrogg Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 You've probably already seen this but for me it would tick all your boxes..I know its a grand more than your budget but if you really want something you have to spend that little bit more!! http://milweb.net/classifieds/large_image.php?ad=49391&cat=4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berna2vm Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Most good K9's dont make much more than £2000 and it has it all, military lineage, active service in many 50's and 60's conflicts for history and has real presence. Toss in to the deal things like MOT and tax exemption and you have a winner. It is good to drive and surprisingly modern in operation (crash box though!). Given the criterior it would certainly be my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 It's certainly on the list. So far the most hassle free possible contenders are: Austin K9 Commer Q8 and a couple of others I have forgotten about. extrogg - I saw that truck and have to say it looks a little heavy and thirsty even by my standards. What exactly is it and what nationality is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiler Posted November 17, 2009 Author Share Posted November 17, 2009 Ta very much. 13,000Lbs is not to be sniffed at but then 8 to 10 MPG doesn't sound as bad as I expected either. And it'll happily run on jet fuel too, that's handy to know working on an airfield. Only joking officer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
extrogg Posted November 18, 2009 Share Posted November 18, 2009 If you get an M35 then let me know as id like to have a closer look at one..been thinking about getting one myself for quite a while! I work in Southampton so not too far from you.....go on you know you want to! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smiler Posted November 18, 2009 Author Share Posted November 18, 2009 Ok, if you transfer the required funds into my bank account I'll go up and buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
