This the new daily drive i bought with the money i got from selling the frontera
Its a 1990 2.8di isuzu bighorn lotus edtion.
I absolutley love it. I got it from wakefield jack took me down.
Drove home lovely very comfotable quiet and good road handling
It comes with factory manual hubs, lsd, drivers heated seat with hi lo setting, recaro seats with lotus embroided emblem, arm rest All round electric windows , factory window tints slight purple. wind deflectors purple, climate control and A/C. Openeing quarter windows on the front.
It has few wee rust spots on wings wee marks apart from that its in very good condition the interior is in very good condition for a 20 year old truck looks like it has had a good past.
The steering is sharp brakes good an good engine its a good old schooldrive where you can feel everything in the steering and brakes. It doesnt bounce or wallow like the frontera sits nice
I only have the eebuygum pictures and two i took this morning in day light with phone

I have one thing to say about the suspension it effing hard hit a bump and you break yer teeth.
I took the rear plastic panel off and saw a threaded hole ( ooer missus) i reckon its a seat belt hole why else would it be there i need too either use the rear seat belts of the swb or find another set least i can get a set of three point seat belts in |
