1982 Nissan Patrol MQ review from Australia and New Zealand
"A great 4WD, legendary"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rusted muffler that was replaced.
Rusted support beam on the chassis that will be replaced.
General comments?
It's a short wheel base and maneuvers like a dream.
A real go anywhere car, better than some modern Land-cruisers I use & definitely more fun.
Intend to use this car to travel Australia in & am very confident in its ability to do so.
