Reluctantly putting my Surf up for sale as am buying a ute. This has been built as a reliable touring/camping rig and has had a huge amount of money and maintenance put into it over the years. Too much work done to list! It’s not a rough bush truck — it’s a tidy, well-sorted adventure truck that’s ready to go anywhere and a pleasure to drive.
