Bought a LHD diesel 80!

Not to cross-post, but thought some of you on the diesel side of the house might be interested to have a look...

p.s. thanks to Chris, Darryl, Martin and Louis for thoughts/advice/encouragement while I was pondering the purchase. Much obliged, gents!

Hi Robert, I knew you'd buy it Cruiser guys do no matter what they are told - but hey it's a cruiser!

Let me know if you need a hand with anything, I have lots of parts and have worked on a cruiser or two before.

Regards,

louis

I saw that one on Kijiji. I believe the owner wanted $15-16k for it. I would have bought it if I had the cash. Nice rig. 5 speed and turbo diesel. NICE !!!!

The engine runs very nice in that truck, wish mine sounded like that one. The nicest thing about it is the ambulance doors and the complete vinyl interior, the carpeted 80's here and in japan I don't like very much.

Come to a cruiser club meeting!

Louis

That truck is beautiful! I miss my 81 and would buy a truck like yours in a heartbeat if I could find one. Outstanding! I'm really looking forward to the interior pictures.

Thanks for the comments everyone. I attached a link to some pictures on the 80 forum post, but will put it here as well, if you're curious to look at it.

Cool rig!

Irony is...in a LHD country having a diesel 80 series in LHD "is" the anomaly.

Enjoy this rare one!

Thanks. The other irony in this: that this LHD 80 diesel should have come from the UK!
