You can have it for £6k mate, and if you pay the fuel, ferry, flight home, put me up for the night and buy me dinner ... then I'll deliver it free of charge  :lol:

Re: that metric tyre size - It's a standard Landrover size (one of a few).

31.65" diameter would be equivalent to a 32" BFG or Goodyear, close enough.

Even a generous 31" by Simex/Swamper standards

Mate, we neither of us are short of a bob or to. You can have the TJ for 6K - which is a good £1k under book - and I dont even mind spending the time to deliver it, for the craic and the chance to see your 'special', but fooked if I'm going to pay for the privlidge - you keep your dough and I'll keep my TJ - and we'll duel another day  :lol:  :lol:
