Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

I posted about bumping into "Oom Johan Steyn" quite a long while ago. This was, IIRC, on the previous Patrol Spotting thread (the one that disappeared somehow).

In any case, he farms up somewhere near Limpopo, if I recall correctly, and had several Safaris. We sort of remained in contact.

Out of the blue, I received a text from him yesterday with news that he's selling his Safari station wagon. He's upgraded the Safari to some other unmentionable 4x4...

It's the 2.8 motor, very original, and I believe the head has been redone. His price == R35K.

If anyone is interested, please PM me and I will forward his contact details.

Very nice.

Thats a very good price!

It is. Wish I had that lying around at the moment... Sal wat gee om ook 'n Safari aan te skaf. Maar ek dink my vrou sal my skei as ek nou in my spaar-rekening induik...

Bugger!!!! Just bought a Land Rover defender yesterday to build into a game viewer, that would have made a perfect one!!!!

A Land Rover ? The term "masochist" comes to mind... How long have you hated yourself ????

Vehicle is '81. 2.8 Petrol with electronic ignition. In Burgersfort. Seems mechanically sound but has rust and body needs attention. Getting more photo's but Oom does not know how to use email etc. Extended shackles and 10J rims.

Hierdie Safari lyk baie goed!!
