Hi All from the UK.

Just picked up my first Explorer - a 1999 XLT (UK car so SOHC I would assume!). Was originally going to lower it and bling it up a bit, but driving through puddles and round gravel car parks (it's my first 4x4 so i have to start gentle alright? ) is just so much more fun i've decided to leave it alone and do some off roading with it instead

Very nice, and actually right-hand drive, isn't it? Havent seen a right-hand drive explorer. Also, how the hell can you afford to put gas in that damn thing at UK prices? Last I looked was about $7.00/gallon!!?? I am paying $2.80 and thats already emptying my wallet! Cheers

One other thing can you post a pic of the interior so I cann see what a right-hand-drive ex looks like on the inside?

I'm really rich - that's how Nah we are just used to the over inflated prices unfortunately

The interior looks like this:

Very good shape, looks like you just got done with the armor-all too. At least the turn signal is on the left side; I drove a car when I was in England last year that had them swapped and it drove me nuts! I need to get to the UK again, I really enjoyed it, and I need some pickled eggs!!!
