Hi all!
Just thought I would introduce myself, Gwyn from London
I have recently bought a HJ60, well that is what the chassis plate says.. It looks more like a '62 with its four lights and electric widows etc.
It has 145k miles on it and runs great, little bit of rust on the bodywork - but the frame seems solid. Its 5 spd manual with Hi4 and Low4 and a diesel 4litre 2h (non turbo) engine. I am actually pretty surprise about the MPG, seams to be about 20-26mpg (that UK, not US gallons) and not that slow, being happy at 80mph in France 5 up with a load.
I have bought it as I am planning a little drive from London to Cape Town, via East Africa - it would seem to be the perfect truck.
Over the next few months I am going to be doing a fair amount of rebuilding / mods on it for the trip and shall keep you all posted.
This is my first 4x4, I have previously owned BMW e30's (late 80's 3 series) which I have learn't my mechanics on!
I have had it about 2 months now - and haven't yet seen another 60!
Few pics.. (it has a great plate! )
So much space under the bonnet!
