I saw that guy stating he gets 34 mpg out of the 4.2.
Thats a crock surely ?

By the way, he wants £5500 ( stirling ) for it. I emailed him. And how would he know what the MPG was? He looks like a dealer to me, he dont drive em, he sells em

don't forget, you're dealing with Imperial gallons which are approximately 20% larger than US gallons, so that truck would only be getting 28mpg comparitively speaking with ones in the US.

5500 UKP seems like a screaming deal to me....yea it is like $7000usd but the 4.2 truck looks very sweet. SWB with the 4.2TD...simply awesome. Who cares what kinda milage it gets....the trucks rocks! I know I know, fuel costs big bucks over there but a diesel and SWB should get way better milage than a 2.8 in an LWB. I am sure it has much more get up and go also as the 2.8L is bit small fora LWB Patrol IMO...the LWB must be at least 5000lbs.

I would trade anyone of my P-trolls for it in a heart beat...to bad it is not USA legal


64 L60 "ragtop" Patrol

64 KL60 Patrol "Hogan"
-67 145 HP engine
-Koenig stock PTO winch
-7.50x16 Michelin XZL's
-Dobinsons 3" HD lift
-Rancho 5000's

66 KL60 Patrol "Admiral Togo"

Half of the cars on the road here in the USA right now shouldnt be legal. Geo metros... death traps...

Back to the topic.
Go and have a look at it. Especially the frame where the rear leaf shackles are mounted!
If the rust is ok, go get it ! I had the L28 in my old ('82) K160. This thing is immortal. I have the 260 LWB right now with the 2.8 Turbo Diesel (RD28T) and had to get a new cylinder head last week at 160k mls. The L28 LWB also has the divorced t-case which makes it a little easier to get an auto tranny fitted. Finding an auto tranny will be close to impossible though, it was never an option in the older Patrols.

Good point. 28 is much more realistic.

Actually Fudd, its $9,617.92 USD at todays rates !!

Bart - he sold it for $2,500 USD. I didnt want to go that high.

.....and petrol is $6.63 USD per UK gallon.

You may all freak out now

Ouchies... does that come with some roses, or what!?

No roses Jono, but a finger salute from the Gov. to the public

ouch...that is way tooo much for fuel! $1ok seems bit high for the ebay Patrol but it does look nice. With the price of fuel I think I woudl go with a diesel for sure.

The day it costs that much for fuel over here is the day I convert my Patrol over to run on propane!! LOL J/K

Dont want to disappoint you , but diesel is just about the same price as unleaded.

You cant win here, believe me.

Sounds about right...
