You can take the Patrol pickup from the list. They stopped manufacturing them in Australia, SA will follow soon.
You will never find me without Stroh or a 4x4 :D

I thought about that when I posted it. But I kept them separate because it’s a different concept.

I doubt that very much. But we will count it when it’s available

If only the Patrol pickup was a double-cab! Damn, I'd love one!

you need to add the Iveco 4x4 Daily to the list.

If you order it in 3500kg registration (or convert it to a station wagon / motorhome and keep the tare under 3500kg) it's a normal light delivery vehicle / light motor vehicle.

best specced too in my opinion....

I think the double live G wagon is still on the market? replacement is next year?

I didn’t include the Iveco or the Unimog, because they are more truck-like.

But those are the best.

well, the unimog is a truck in that it's an HGV - you need a code 10 and a pdp to use it.

The Iveco falls into the Light goods vehicle / light motor vehcile category because you can register it to be under the threshold weights.

I found it very very easy to drive - certainly less work than a 76 or 79 Cruiser .
