You wont find any in the UK - some LHD in Europe (expensive) and new RHD in Zambia, but they are everywhere (invludinmg old 75s) in Australia - and 12 volt RHD too.
Have a look at www.autotrader.com.au
Note that out there I would guess a pick-up will more likely have had a genuine off road life than some 'hardtop' troopcarriers. (I'm condidering bringing a 78 in.)
fyi:
75 up to late 1990s = all leaves (later = 4.2)
78 troop (79 pick-up) = front coils, longer leaves and bit bigger but still the all-mech engine management.
Shipping might be under a grand
and tax = Vat + 5% (guessing)
Chris
And guess what! A lot more up to date TLC stuff in the new book - here early Dec, baring typhoons.

Hi,
No - it doesnt have to be just the 1HZ diesel - you can get the HZJ79 pick up with the 4.5 litre petrol engine too (1FZFE). There are loads of them here in SA. They are quite expensive new (ZAR 290,000) - but if you wanted to get an older one for import to the UK, it wold be fine as the are RHD of course.
Cheers,
Andy

Correction - im not sure if the petrol 79s in SA dont have the carburettor 1FZ engine, rather the the injected 1FZFE. Not that it matters too much. :-)
