Keiff Posted May 11, 2010 Share Posted May 11, 2010 Always wanted one, and eventually picked up this beauty ( well its beautiful to me ) Doors could do with a bit of work and needs a new back door that locks instead of padlocks but seems solid enough So what next, do I Waxoyl the bu**er to death or buy every accessory I can buy/fit/bolt on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FridgeFreezer Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 fridge freezer (thats a member of this forum) once explained to me that camel trophy vehicles are bog standard defenders!! What a nice chap I'll retract that though and state that Camel trophy ones are in fact heavier and slower because of all the cr*p they have bolted to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
