i fancy a hilux pickup, where have they all gone? ive been looking & all i can find are the estate versions

There are still one or two around here, and a colleague is restoring one. I predicted a couple of years ago that they were going to shoot up in value. Not sure if it's happened yet, but I'm certain it will. Same with the VW Caddy and Ford P100.

Lots of them still around these parts.

At least three on most of the larger farms up this way.
One on the road at any time, another for carrying the feed out to the beasts in bad weather - as well as being called upon to drag the stranded Land Rover product out of a snowdrift - and the third usually in the process of being parted out to keep the others going.

The car park at the nearest Maccie D's drive through usually has a few examples on view once the winter kicks in since, slowly but surely, the local yoof are discovering that agricultural pickups are cooler than Corsas with large wheels.

They are all on the African continent with rocket launchers in the back.

Clarkson has wrecked a few of them. I remember watching 'back to the future' in 1984 and falling in love with the black Hilux at the end. Liked it more than the Delorean

We have a D plate one on the farm and a 56 plate crew cab. Now I think about it I haven't seen any others in a while.
I'll have a look through the farm sale catalogues in the kitchen if you are seriously interested in one and see if any are up for sale.

im interested but i wont be buying for a while, thanks! ill let you know when im ready..
