Just been browsing all the platforms as I do in hope of coming across a SWB Patrol project

This one caught my eye on Gumtree

It looks odd certainly, it failed on the 12th April 2018 having covered just 22 miles to it's next fail on the 13th June 2018. Then a pass on the 14 th June 2018 - for sale for spares or repair ??

I did not realise something that looks so good on the outside could be so rusty is this a Patrol trait ?
Makes our Jeeps look good by comparison.

Perhaps it been flood damaged at the seaside.

I was going to ask a daft question, like how in hell's name does a truck get into that state.

Then maca probably hit it on the head with salt water corrosion.....perhaps too many boat launches and not enough hosepipe afterwards.....

Think I will go with after around 2000/2001 they changed the paint that they applied to the motors as they all rust though so much quicker than the older ones, Rick
