Sadly it's time to part company with it, it's up on a 10-day auction, mostly to try and get people to contact me to buy it conventionally, I don't see how people could buy a car on ebay, too risky! If anyone is interested, come and have a peek, North Dorset area.
Anyone have any experience importing/exporting similar vehicles to the States? Your TDi looks pretty much like exactly what I have been looking for. Alas, you are Over There and I am Over Here ;)
I don't I'm afraid, but I believe some others in this group do, however if you buy it and ship it to the states, how will I pay it monthly visits to stroke its steering wheel lovingly?
We can most likely work something out. Want to buy a house near the coast of northeastern Florida? Two separate garages for all of the toys. Maybe you can let me leave some of my motorcycles there and you can visit with the TDi every so often ;)
Or you can visit it in Belize in about 8-10 months. I'm looking for something that I can tow behind a diesel motorhome as we explore the Yucatan portion of Mexico.
*Two* garages? I've got two toys (three if you count the defender) and one transport already and intend to get a Series 1 to replace the Defender, so I suspect that two garages won't be enough ;-) Mind you better than the one that I currently have.
The thought of it being on the other side of the planet just doesn't bear thinking about!
I'm sure there are much more suitable trucks, mine's not worth considering, really!
Well at least it would get to see more of the world than is likely with me, I suppose that's some consolation, it would be character building for it and good for its education. Are there good schools in the area?
While selling anything via eBay you need to be certain you don't encounter a scamming prospective purchaser like the sociopath quoted above and described in detail below. He has a lengthy history of hiding behind dozens of aliases for nefarious purposes beyond the harassment and abuse he transmits to numerous newsgroups, typically by cross-posting to maximize his malicious activities.
He sweetheart scams elderly females who seek companionship in hope that he may enrich his useless life via their financial means (that he had assessed while getting in their good graces). One recent prospective victim fortunately broke off their relationship after his forceful demands got too suspicious and he flashed his pistol in her presence in an obvious attempt to put fear of injury or death foremost in her mind.
The guy is an abject loser and a general screw-up who puts on an air of toughness yet his numerous mistakes and dyslexic errors would be comical if he wasn't an alcoholic sociopath with no regard or respect for anyone, especially after he scams from anyone whatever he can obtain to enrich his scumbag life.

Take notice of the "NNTP-Posting-Host: 209.177.232.245" data in the headers of messages he has transmitted. He posted those messages via his place of employment, Moffitt Corporation in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. What a shit-hole that must be to allow an abject loser like him to post all manner of malicious and racist content all day long.
209.177.232.245 = Moffitt Corporation
Moffitt Corporation
1351 13th Avenue South, Suite 130 Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250
The messages whose headers are transmitted via "NNTP-Posting-Host:
24.129.77.189" are those he typically spews away from Moffitt Corporation, usually from the house owned by his facilitating girlfriend Deborah Lynch rather than that of his current wife Claudia, aka "Joey.
The latest development is that "PirateJohn" Gilmer has posted messages that originate from the 216.253.112.18 domain which is registered to Venus Medical Communications, 1351 13TH AVE S, JAXVILLE BCH, FL, 32250 which, not too surprisingly, is a very close neighbor of Moffitt Corporation whose address is 1351 13th Avenue South, Suite 130, Jacksonville Beach, FL 32250!
