There's an exdiesel South African one for sale in Christchurch, with the common SA 3.0 Ford V6 conversion. It's a 1980. The vehicle was designed for watercooling... I doubt diresels in Germany came out AFTER they did in South Africa... in fact I doubt they were in PRODUCTION in SA in 1980... -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin 9001, New Zealand <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Seashell, Macintosh, VW/Toyota van nut |
