My surf (Scroll down for pics) 1996 3.0TD Auto SSRG modelUsual SSRG spec including; Air Conditioning 5 Electric Windows (including tailgate) Wood Effect Trim Leather Steering Wheel Tinted Windows Compass/Altimeter Twin Starting Batteries Wide-Body model with full side cladding 16" Alloy Wheels Alloy Side-Steps Rear Wheel Carrier Rear spoiler with Electric Reversing Mirror Mods; Sony Xplod MP3 CD player with Column remote Blue Led's in A/C Panel Tow-bar with electrics 2.5" Suspension Lift with Extended Dampers 33" BFG All-Terrain Tyres (8mm thread remaining) Captive Off-Road valve caps Difflock Drain Plug & Tube (for easy, mess-free oil changes) Converted to Commercial (rear seats and belts removed, the windows have not been removed or blanked out and all the parts are available should you wish to revert to a passenger model with private tax, it was originally private so no VRT or duties apply if you wish to do this. It can be re-converted prior to sale subject to negotiation) Rare US spec load cover (best suited for use if reverted to private) I've owned this for just over 10 years and covered approx 100,000km and it has never let me down. Maintenance costs have been minimal, and its still running 100% and wants for nothing mechanically. It has been regularly maintained including the all important drive-train greasing that is so often neglected. Bad Points; The bodywork, whilst very clean and presentable does have some minor marks commensurate with its age The spare wheel-carrier hinges are worn causing it to rattle on uneven roads The paint has stated to lift on the front bumper (only when power-washed) Front Fog-Lamps not working
As this particular Surf appears to have originally been supplied in the northern area of Japan it was fitted with the "winter-pack" option which includes a heated fuel filter, this enables it to run on far greater percentages of cheap vegetable oil fuel than those without this option, see my veg-oil pages for more info if you have some time to do a bit of reading :-) Tax & DOE to Feb 2014 Click any picture to enlarge |
