If you decide to try and sell the 130 as is... give me a shout.
I would also be interested in 'everything' that's left over... especially the chassis and ID, the roof and body etc etc. Or could do you a swap for other panels for your 110.

I packed up working for myself (firewood and forestry mainly) and haven't really got any need for something as big as the 130 - I did really quite like the look on peoples faces when it would follow most other "conventional" off roaders - It just suffers with the long wheelbase - belly and turning circle. I'd quite like to have built a 130 hard top or king cab but in the end it would still be a 130 and a bit big for most stuff. Going 6x6 would get around the bellying issue and I'd really like the idea but reckon cost would be quite a lot.

Thanks Ian, that's worth knowing. I could maybe be tempted to part with it as is - it would make me a bit more room for me to work at home - the only downside would be that I'd need to buy in quite a bit of stuff that I could at the moment rob off the 130.
It wants a little bit of work on the back cross member and I was going to re bush a few bits of the suspension but other than that it's as I was using it (I have taken the knackred quadtec box off though and weighed it in)
one way or another I reckon we can sort something :D

the turning circle is a bit of a problem, especially if you use it as a "car" like i do, the consant wheel turninig in car parks means iv had to replace the front tyres after just 10 thousand miles :roll:

If you let me know what parts you would be after we might be able to sort something out.... I quite fancy a 130 :D
Its not a problem for me to get hold of body panels etc etc (most of them will be later Td5 - so all in very good/mint condition) - or even swap it in exchange/part payment for work on the 110 (i.e. fitting your V8 etc etc)
Just another option for you to think about lol....
