Yes, we’ll, the previous generation had one. A manually operated one, with a rigid plastic liner; very unpleasant to sit on and a dangerously slippery take of and landing ramp for dogs

It’s a real minger from the front, especially now they appear to have integrated two roadside drain grilles into the nose!

It'll sell loads

Yorky,

Sorry, off topic, but what's the story behind that Avatar of yours? Has the brake disc really worn through?!!!

That made me laugh. They make a big thing about 19" light alloy wheels and then, alongside the picture note the image shows 22" wheels.

Tigger its a bit of who dares wins.

Lifted from Google Images but it will be genuine enough and I found it entertaining enough. Less scary than a picture of me like this one taken in Iran in 1974. Nursed a Ford Transit to the Himalaya and back doing Mountaineering. Had to strip the gearbox down in Mashad, happy days

I was in that place just before you, unfortunately I was working though!
Actually I was there every month or so, it used to take me 23 days to do the round trip of 8,500 mls.
Did you go over Tahir to get from Turkey to Iran?
