This classic Hilux was delivered new to the Australian police back in 1982 and quickly put to work in the outback chasing down Mad Max wannabes.
It didn’t take long for the boys in blue to realise the factory donk was less than ideal for patrol duties, so they re-powered it with the mighty GM 253 V8.
Fast forward to 1988 and it was retired from police service, exported to New Zealand and has now found its way into the hands of a dedicated Crumpy enthusiast.
