And then came the 31th March 2008!

Well, after some days waiting to got the "new toy" as a kid in Christams season, the D Day came at 31th March! Latest owner, the garage guy, managed to send me the jeep in a platform truck totally free. Great chap!

As the jeep brakes must be checked totally, I asked him to deliver it to local specialized shop, which is going to do this work and there I take this new set of pics, more detailed. Kindda walk-around! Curiously, when I decided to but the jeep, I totally trusted at the words of the seller and don´t check any of the jeep: neither interior, engine, etc. Ouch! Don´t blame at me!!!!

















As you could see, the jeep has an added power steering (installed at the frontal bumper, left) "ZF" made in Spain, a power brake (see the engine compartment) and an interior heater, "Bosch", 12 volts. But what more amazed me was the fact of the serial number vehicle: 00061! See the firewall dataplate. This means that this particular vehicle was one of the earliest units assembled at Spain.

The diesel Perkins engine is a 4.203, the most powerful of this series. Quite useful to move this jeep and his hard-top! At first I thought this ´top was a bubba work or perhaps it came from a Land Rover series I but after some surfing at the net I found it was made or at least offered by Willys-Viasa for their customers. A luxury garment! He, he, he!
