Expedition Toyota Surf TD RHD England....for nearly nothing

Hi guys

I prepared my 1994 Toyota Surf 3.0 Turbo diesel SSRX for a trip to India back in 2006. After 47,000kms of trouble free driving it passed the MOT test with only a number plate bulb gone, what an amazing vehicle, ok i had a few issues on the road but nothing that ever stopped me......

I put the truck in the garage and then got the bike out and had a very long ride. Im only now back in England and would like to see the toyota go to a good home that will use it.

The Toyo has been fitted out in the rear with large timber boxes for storage and slightly heavier rear springs to compensate for the extra weight. The boxes are quite low so that you can sleep in the rear of the truck if you get stuck for a hotel or wild camp.

Ok if youre still reading

Tinted windows

The car has stood for nearly 3 years however with about five turns of the engine she fired up and runs as if i only turned her off yesterday...astonishing (even the batteries are good after a charge)

Ok..If you are interested in the car as it stands £1200 (no offers)and its yours, without mot or tax, however if i get an mot which shouldnt be a problem i would want more for it as i could then sell it to the general public

If you want it for Expedition.....why bother with an MOT youll never be asked for it outside england.

Sorry no photos, ill try and get some on.....the truck is in fair overall condition, but its been to some crazy place so its got a few scratches and dinks.

This a very cheap way to get away from the madness, its tried and tested and needs a little fettling before a RTW.....

PS im Living in South Birmingham

Fettling

It's the removal of "flash" from around products that have come out of a mould.
Used as a term for making things right

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
