Piglet 2 White 413 with orange wheels
Piglet 3 Vitara Fat Boy 10” Body Kit: M123 JPC: Sold
Piglet 4 "never arrived even though I bought a load of parts for it!"
Piglet 5 Blue LJ80 1,000cc Sold

I've got a few spares mate but pretty much everything for an LJ is out there. Normally eBay Germany and Austria and it ain't cheap! You can even buy brand new body panels. What are you after?

Messages in the outbox just means the other person hasn't read them yet, not that they have not been sent, come on Mr Donkeychomp, read your messages :P
