Looks like the one the owner of Delta 4wd in Blenheim owned. If it is, Muddy or other local club members might know a bit about it. Can't remember who on here bought it from him originally.

Hmm dead plates - I am finding out the hard way what this might mean for me.
Pricey - but ultimately worth I hope. Just hope the inspector(s) dont look at it as a 21st century vehicle instead of a 1980 BJ40...
So - whatever happened to Delta 4wd? I have a sticker of theirs lying around from when I bought a snorkel for my old Zuk back in 2004.

Cheers, I'm not sure on how I'm getting it home yet but last time I bought it I drove down to Wellywood with a trailer, left car and trailer there and then jumped on the ferry and brought it back. Hopefully I can do the same again this time.

I dont know what your ex is like but mine is hot and I was said to see her go. If I han't got the other half pregnant at the time I would have never sold her in the first place
