We are selling our fully prepared, ready to go Landcruiser when we get to SA (we are currently in DRC on our way) having driven it from the UK. (around August/September 2006)
Its an HJ60
The engine has a genuine 114,000 mile (MOT certificates from 23 years to prove it) and it's immaculate.
The bodywork was pretty rusty when I got it 2 years ago, but I have had it all cut out and welded in galvanised plate, and resprayed and now there isnt a spot of rust on it.
The clutch was new in spain (Original Toyota parts - no scrimping on aftermarket stuff).
This vehicle had 2 owners since new in 1982, When I got it, it was totally overhauled by Toyota Gibraltar (that do all the landcruisers for NGOS and the UN) as part of a sponsored trip we are doing for them. You can see more of the car and our trip at
www.africancruiser.com.
It comes with
a large roof tent for 2 with a 8 inch thick mattress. Fully waterproof even in the most torrential african downpoors.
New bullbars
Massive winch (never used)
ARB underbonnet aircompressor
High lift
Jerrys for fuel and water
Gas camping stove and bottle
Pots and pans
Spares (belts, original filters, waterpump, innertubes...)
Awning
Camping table and 2x chairs
Recovery straps
Tyres are Michelin XZY (surprisingly good in mud, excellent on road and in sand,) with plenty of tread left.
Fire extinguisher
12v fridge
20Amp voltage dropper to run everything you need.
Thuraya Sat phone,
Garmin GPS
Stereo with input for Ipod/mp3 player.
Solidly built shelving area in boot so you can use all 5 seats
Window tint cos its bloody hot on the equator and stops prying eyes.
It's UK registered, It has a carnet which you can have (it runs out in september but I can get an new one issued for one more year - the current one is a bit short on pages)
I've even kept a record of all the service work I've done on it as the trip has gone along.
I know most people like to set off from home with their car but think about driving home from SA The journey is the same backwards as forwards. If there is any other gear you want to get, its all a lot cheaper in SA. This car will easily do it, I should know, we've been living in it for 8 months. Its got everything you need to turn the key and go. We would like to drive it back but don't have the money or the time.
We are looking to sell it in SA around August/September time. And we'll be really sorry to see it go.
