Welcome to the club Ziggy :)

NJC on this one you're not alone :) I have never sat in a 404!  :o I've stood next to them, looked in them, but I've never sat in the cab.
I've always preferred the looks of the hard tops to the soft tops, I think the hard tops look very mean and squat.
I do believe that they aren't really any more road friendly than a 406 though, the standard petrol engine struggles on hills and I've heard they drop to 30mph quite quickly, however the top speed on a standard 404 is 60mph and above, but they have an almost identical gearbox to the 411, and I've read before that the gearbox has lubrication issues if such a high speed is maintained for any length of time. How true that is I don't know.

Feel free to post any questions :) And if you're interested and think the mog will be ready for it, we're having a club meet in july and we're convoying down :)
