Re: a nice puch just what you need for the winter

That's brilliant.  Someone on GWOA was looking for a snowplough and this would be worth the purchase to get the job done.
I assume that in picture 5 the unit in the engine bottom left is a hydraulic oil compressor thing?  I hadn't considered that you would need that to fit a simple plough, but makes sense for a big bit of kit like this.  Engine bay looks tidy.

That is worth having.

A similar spec snowplough from ORC is £5.5k and it does not come attached to a smart looking orange G. I would imagine that an auto box in a 460 is pretty rare as well.

Re: a nice puch just what you need for the winter

It is a great pity the Euro Lottery has not yet released my multi-millions, it would have made a timely addition to my wish list; the weather forecasters on the web are predicting arctic weather from October through out December.

Some interesting designs in snow chains out now also, and interesting to learn there shoe chains available at a mere £10.50 a pair, would prevent all those winter injuries.

It would be prudent for club members' to have their vehicles checked and prepared for winter, in particular anti-freeze concentration and Battery condition. The first cold spell will show up the weak Batteries.

Cheers,

My search for a tidy SWB is going so poorly that that orange Snow-G is actually looking pretty good to me! ;)

Re: a nice puch just what you need for the winter

        reserve not met at 14,551 eur seems a lot for a 1990 pick up
        even with a snow plough ?
        dont realy get it in europe (LHD) which are 2 a penny go for more
        than a (rhd) in the uk and they can be  quite hard to find
