The ideal Vehicle?
I am planning a trans-Aftican trip starting in August and I have been deliberating over the right vehicle. I looked at a well equiped Land Rover 110 which turned out to be about to break in half and would welcome views on the way forward.
While you don't want a flashy motor, because it might attract bandits you also want something which will make it. Chris Scott in Sahara Overland (my bible) suggests the Toyota Land Cruiser and this weekend I viewed at Series 60 (non turbo) which was structuaraly sound but with no history. I am eager to collect opinions on how I can feel more assured about the machanicals as I am no expert and I am not sure the AA/RAC inspection service is up to it? I am also concerned about getting spares in the UK - does anyone know of any good links? Thanks,
