Roadkill (The Series) Project Car Shootout
« on: February 26, 2014, 11:25:16 am »


Really enjoyed this one. So many great cars.

Love the Ramp-truck.


How much do you think you would find one of these in the UK for?





1968 VW T2 Bay Bus (currently being restored and upgraded)
1999 Jeep Cherokee XJ (modern classic daily driver)

It just amazes me that a low cost American utility vehicle becomes a luxury high cost vehicle when shipped to the UK

Gonna be looking £4k for something old and tatty up to £50k

Yep

The RK guys bought that Ramp-truck for $3,500, but over here it would probably be near £10k and up

Old and tatty is fine, I like the matte / ratlook.

This is alright:

£4,200

However, THIS is ******* PERFECTION (Minus the wheel trims):

Starting at £14,000

Dude, there was a C10 going on eBay for about £2k just before Xmas. No t&t but solid rails with a few bits of rusty exterior panels. Was trying to talk Ralph into buying it. Came with engine and box but needed tuning up and was on a Q plate.

Still looked ruddy awesome and would've made an awesome muscle truck. That said though, that truck probably has the best part of £15-20k worth of gear on it.

Yeah, I don't want / can't have another 'project'. Just something ratty to burble around in would do very nicely
