Mukuwa the white 110
Hi,

I would like to introduce myself, or rather my old travel buddy. It is a my89 110 TD converted to a 200 Tdi (from a disco) and he is called Mukuwa. I bought him in 2005, made some shorter trips and then travelled 2008 all the way from Switzerland to South Africa. It took us 1 year to reach the destination, and then we made many more trips in southern Africa until I decided to ship it back last year, where it now receives some much needed TLC after more than 30 years in service.

Some pics from Mukuwa in Africa and soon from the restoration process can be found on https://www.instagram.com/phippu/

cheers
Philippe

Thanks! Will see what I can do, my first priority is to pass the MFK (MOT check), and then we‘ll see...

I am not yet sure what the goal for the „rebuild“ will be, would love to go overland touring again, but with a family this is not so easy anymore.
