I must say that I really do like your truck! Best colour and a useful range of equipment.
I’d like a 78 myself but they seem to be rather scarce. What sort of money do the 78’s cost?
Are there any dealers selling them second hand? |

OTR approx 27K including factory lockers and VAT, SVA, TAX etc.
Takes about 3-6 months to source, don't often see them s/h over here though.
Paul at Footloose has all the current info.

My Son and I are leaving on the 4th catching the Portsmouth - Bilbao Ferry, pick the wife up from Malaga on Tuesday and taking the ferry over on Wednesday.
It sounds like we will have fun, as I just took a call from Pete from Atlas Overland who is out there at the moment, he says the passes over the High Atlas are Blocked with Snow and Mud and Some Campsites as far south as Zagora are flodded!
See you down there!
Regards
Lawrence
