Is this a TB42 or TD42

Peter is spot on

Kan ek net vir julle ouens vra? As ek sou wag vir 'n standaard TB42, sonder ombouings, kry mens nog van hulle? Ek weet nie of dit net my verbeelding is nie, maar dit is vir my asof beide modelle in die vorm baie skaars begin raak.

Groete Kêrels!

If it were me I’d get in contact with Tinus and ask for his assistance. He’ll help with getting you what you want, the beauty of that is he’ll more than likely know the seller and the car, nice to have that kind of history.
BUT, if this webuycars one is something you really like, I’d still get graham Cummings to check it out. It’s great that Anthony has given it a mark of approval already, that’s a valuable thing.

Ok, if I’m honest, if it were me I’d look for a GU patrol

Thanks Graham. I do drive a Nissan Patrol 2013 diesel model. This is not going to be a daily driver, nor Safari vehicle. It's just that as I kid on my first visit to the Kgalagadi, there was a beautiful TB42 that was sikver and metallic-red. All I want is a collectable that I can drive once or twice a week for enjoyment. To me, that shape is iconic. So,I already have a nice Patrol in running order.

And one can never have too many Patrols

Jammer, die een gemis.

Ja, mens kry nog. Oom Mac (Kagiso II) het noudiedag een gekry wat vir my meganies standaard lyk. Maar ja, hulle is skaars. Aangesien hulle in 1997opgehou het om die Y60 te bou, is die nuutste een nou 23 jaar oud, so dis seker nie verbasend nie.

Vir die doel waarvoor jy die kar wil aanwend, sou ek regtig dink die fuel-injected een sal die job baie goed doen, maar as jy regtig 'n standaard een soek, is daar twee ouens wat jou dalk kan help: Tinus of dalk Petri Oosthuizen. Lyk my hy het 'n gawe om ongemolesteerde karre op te spoor.

Have a very nice 4.2 gq that has passed via ants custom workshop .....lets see all done carb electronic dissie ect ect bargain at 55k

One of my very good and old clients brought one of his many Patrols in for some work. Its a 1998 GQ bakkie fitted with a TD42 non turbo engine. It has now done 891,000km and is still the original engine.
Unfortunately it was used by a friend a whike back and was over heated and the engine got some damage. They still drove it after the over heating for more than 100,000km, but its time for thange abd getting the Patrol running properly again.

Its now getting a new TD42 turbo engine. This will be a low boost no intercooler setup to just have it running around 20% better than the standard TD42 non turbo engine. So it will be good for another 20 years.
