Why would you want a D3 the same colour as a 1970's Austin Maxi?? Off Roading is OK.... But I'd rather be Boating!

Jason..steps or tubes are both toss off road....dont bother with any of them cause they will both get bent "you cannot teach stupid people to do clever things"

But, when the tubes get bent, the sills don't!
Mine are bent to B*ggery, shudder to think how the sills would have been without them.

Ronp, seen them on Glynnes D3.....they do look useful IMHO.
As for Richards Marina, my first car was a Hilman Avenger GT, a flinstone car as it had a rotten floor and I could'nt put more than a 1/4 tank of petrol cos the tank had a hole in it

They were indeed fine machines... I was doing a bit of reminiscing after my last post. My wife asked me what I was grinning about.... Thought it was best to lie as I did not know her in those days!! Off Roading is OK.... But I'd rather be Boating!
