This is local to me.. (10 mins away)
It is in VERY good condition, and has a low milage. It also has a nice little engine in it that is sweet.
One thing i will say is that the price is cheap for a LWB. Remeber these are rare and sort after. It would be an investment with some nice rims on it, a good lick of T cut and some general tidying up. I would by it myself as my old LWB was a great machine! However i have enough sjs for now

Hi Andy hows things?
Im hear but to be honest i haven't touched the sj for ages. I am in the middle of getting insurance for it for this weekend. Having to provide certificates by the "qualified people" who did the modifications mainly rear brakes and body lift is a bit tricky when i did them in the shed
Luckily i know the garage well and they have provided a nice little letter for me
Ontop of that if i can get the insurance sorted for this weekend then i still need to fit a new PAS pump. Then tax and hopefully get out in it on the saturday for a shake down before hitting the mud on sunday. Slighty worried as the new engine is un tested, and i have only done about 20 miles on it.

can you not get a repair kit for the pump,, or we used to send them to a company that recons power racks!.. nice one regarding your pass... once your on the road, ithink your better off just putting some road miles on the engine, then once your happy
, then hit the mud, mind you, as ive always said about you!!! you need a boat,,. have you been affected with all that rain? or did it miss you.

Hi Andy,
Have not looked for a repair kit for the pump, ended up getting a replacement for £10. Did you get the pump i gave you working in the end?
Thanks for the congrats, have been on the road for just over a month now, and have covered 3500 miles in the corsa
I hope to get some road miles on the sj, staying local on the staurday, maybe just a good blast up the bypass and around the local area, then on the sunday i have been invited to a private P&P site about 30 miles away from home, so fingers crossed the new engine will make it there, but like you said with my fond bond with water weather it will get me home again is another question
