The time has come to let my beloved GV go to its next owner...

The car
2001 SQ625

History
I've owned the GV for just under 10 years now and I'm the second owner. Bought it with about 60k on the clock and it's been looked after well ever since i've had it.

Oil flush, oil & filter change plus tyres rotated every 5000kms. Never had timing chain rattle and the motor still runs like a dream.
Front seat have had seat covers on them for their entire lives. Rear seat have been in the folded down position for 99% of the time i've had it.
Recent maintenance includes a new water pump, front main seal, machined front dba slotted rotors with bendix 4x4 pads....on top of regular servicing.

The clear coat on the roof is starting to fade and peal, and the aircon pulley bearing has started to get a little noisey the last couple of months.

Everything works as it should and the GV still has a long life ahead of it. It's been my daily driver the whole time and always taken care when off road. Too many things to mention but I'll have a crack at it....

Mods
Mechanical
Dobinsons 2inch lift kit - xl7 front springs and 200kg rear springs. Rear spring spacers (30mm from memory), extended brake proportioning valve bracket, panhard rod relocation bracket, rear shock relocation brackets.

It just goes to show that if you price a car well and it presents well things will move quickly. Nice work.
