Looks like it spent its life in Afganistan as a bus..........................

But I agree it could be a cool ride with some work...

As one Australian site puts it, those things are so underpowered, they can't pull a skin off a rice pudding.

Funny that is right here in AZ. Rust over drivers side rear wheel well is going pretty good. You know that the interior is just a disaster. Not to mention all rubber is dust, and there is a lot of that surrounding all that glass.

Put a bigger engine in it...... make it faster than an overloaded 240D with a slipping transmission.
