NO RESERVE - 1992 Daihatsu Fourtrak

Highlights

  • No previous keepers recorded on the V5C
  • To be supplied with 12 months MOT 
  • New diesel injector pump and timing belt fitted fewer than 300 miles ago 

The Appeal

To this day, the Daihatsu Fourtrak remains a firm favourite amongst the rural community. With rugged underpinnings consisting of leaf sprung beam axles and an old-school selectable four-wheel drive system, this Fourtrak still holds its own off-road.
These cars are often driven to destruction but this Fourtrak has clearly been looked after really well. Sure, there’s the odd dent, scratch and repair to be seen, but this nevertheless remains amongst the smarter surviving examples we’ve seen and is surely a modern classic.



The History and Paperwork

  • V5C present
  • The vendor informs us that an MOT test will be carried out upon the sale of the vehicle
  • Holds a current MOT which is valid until February 2023
  • MOT history shows that the car has been around the clock and that the total mileage covered is 132,356
  • No previous keepers recorded on the V5C
  • Has only covered around 300 miles over the last year
  • Last major service in February 2022



The Interior

  • Part of the Fourtrak’s appeal is the way their interiors are quite plush in spite of their utilitarian underpinnings
  • Fitted with a rear roll cage
  • This example has survived well with just some wear in places
  • The dashboard is in great condition, as are the door cards, carpets and headlining
  • We’re informed that all the instrumentation and switchgear works exactly as it should
  • Equipped with a period Clarion stereo cassette radio
  • Slight wear to the controls and the pedal rubbers are quite tired
  • The front seats do exhibit some wear and have torn in places
  • The rear seats have fared much better and remain in good shape
  • The rear load bay is missing its lining carpet
  • There are some splits in the lower squabs of the fold-down occasional rear seats



The Exterior

  • Very presentable two-tone paintwork
  • The bodywork remains very straight for a vehicle of this nature
  • The vendor points out that the nearside rear wing has been dented and repaired and now looks presentable although the repair is visible
  • We noticed a crack in the offside rear light lens and a small dent above it
  • There is a little bubbling to the offside sill below the door and the same again on the nearside sill by the plastic trim
  • The previous MOT noted corrosion within 30cm of a mounting point (referring to the inner rear wheel arches), which the vendor informs us has now been repaired to a good standard
  • Underneath, the chassis looks to be sound with just a little surface corrosion in places



The Mechanics

  • Equipped with Daihatsu’s dependable and immensely torquey 2.8-litre diesel engine
  • Five-speed manual gearbox
  • Selectable four-wheel drive and low range gearbox 
  • Starts with ease on every occasion and no faults were noted when underway
  • New diesel injector pump and timing belt fitted fewer than 300 miles ago in February 2022



Summary

Few Daihatsu Fourtraks of this vintage are in such good overall condition as this 1992 example. 

As one of the last fully leaf sprung Fourtraks, it’s sure to be considered a modern classic by 4x4 enthusiasts and has plenty of years of service yet to give.

About Max Bids

The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.

Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.

Anti-sniping

Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.

Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.

Auto-bidding increments

  • If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
  • If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
    • Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
    • We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.

Bid Amount Increment
£0 to £9,999 £100.00
£10,000 to £49,999 £250.00
£50,000 to £99,999 £500.00
£100,000 + £1,000.00

Automatically outbid immediately

When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.

You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.

Matching max bids

When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.

Pre-authorisation

We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.

What are pre-bids?

A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.

Problem with your bid

Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
