...The petrol engine is quite a common transplant in Australia,
not so the diesel.
That dust gets into everything; after a while you can taste it.

Suzuki LJ20
There is a lot of nostalgia for the 1970s, 2-cylinder, 2-stroke
LJ20s.
Farmers liked them because the engine could not starve of oil,
even at the craziest angle.

Do you remember those?
2 cylinder 2 cycle water cooled engine. They were around long enough
for the Feds to outlaw them due to pollution standards. They would fit
in the bed of a full size, fleet side, long wheelbase pickup.
If you can find one these days they are pretty expensive. I bought one
for $650 and sold it for $1950. I was about 15 then, now I'm 29 and
haven't seen one since. Perhaps you can find some photos of them and
put them on your page. [Any offers]
BTW, they were smaller than the Suzuki Samauri and much more stable.
Mine could climb a 45° incline and not even cough.
