Crib? You mean a bach? Just looked at Google Maps; place is barely recognisable now. Looks a bit like around the Palm Beach Wharf area!

Last time I was in Akaroa I saw a Hillman Hunter converted into a ute, down at the wharf. Bit rough around the edges.

Don't worry, there were plenty of rusty sh*tboxes around when I was there.

And I thought the Lada was the Tesla killer..........pedestrian killer, other driver killer and anything that gets within striking range of it.

Did you buy it?
It’s quite the contraption.
Looks like it could be running VG Valiant headlights.

That would still be A minor augmented? :p

Pre Motability, I wonder if it’s a personal import?

Some of the prices on Crackbook… Dreamer doesn’t even come close as a description. The real shame is how Marketplace has overrun other sites like Dumbtree and Craigslist but now is near impossible to sift through.

Gumtree was once good for truck stuff but there's hardly any private sellers left. This came up on my search for pantec truck body ?

Subaru Sambar, have seen a few of these being imported lately, very popular in Japan.

I doubt if they would meet our crash test's, but as a personal import its perfectly fine?
