Possibly, depends on condition, type of front guards and price. I won't be able to make the show, but if you could possibly post a pic and give me
some details I'll let you know.

Is it still owened by Brownie? It was for sale a couple of years ago, not sure if it sold.
It has an interesting rear end in it. Air suspension with what look like Kombi hubs....

Car is now for sale. Rear end consists of Renault 5 speed tranny, air bags all round, adjustable tough dog(? I think) shocks, disc brakes, IRS with
adjustable camber/castor etc to set it up just right.
Car is super strong and as near as unstoppable as you could get. Brownie's contact details are found on the coastwatch website for more info.
A lot of people spent a lot of time on their hands and knees under the car looking at how it's set up with some bewildered at what they were looking
at LOL.
I have one other pic which I will post up when I get home from work tonight.

He's probably spent over $70k on that car. So asking 30 for it to me seems pretty damm good. It does have the best of the best goodies on it. You
only really appreciate the engineering in the car once you stick your head underneath!!
