Vehicle Description:
One fully equipped Toyota Hilux double cab ready for a true ‘plug and play’ adventure!

Vehicle is being sold complete with all camping gear, 4x4 gear, tools and accessories to get you on the open road faster. Most equipment and modifications are 12 months old and tried and tested on a solo trip we took through 12 African countries during 2011/2012.

We are a Mechatronics Engineer and Industrial Designer and spent 3 months and over R50,000 working to turn this vehicle into our dream ‘adventuremobile’. But now we’re flying out of Africa and leaving it all behind to the next in line. So it’s all ready to go and presents a very cost effective way of seeing Africa.

This classic solid front axle truck has legendary overland performance and reliability with common parts available throughout Africa.

Please note almost all equipment is used but very well looked after. Also note that we are currently still travelling so there may slight variations in the final list of items which will be noted. If you are interested in seeing a brief video of some of the features of the truck, email me.

**Vehicle available mid-May in Cape Town. We are currently travelling around South Africa and therefore could possibly meet a serious buyer in their preferred South African city.

hi timoth

I'm planning to buy vhicle for my travel in early of june and your vhicle intersting me

what is your email adress?

Bar

I would also suggest you advertise this in South African gumtree. I sold a similar spec 1991 4Y Hilux about 18 months ago in Cape Town.

Whilst you may find a buyer via the HUBB, all the serious interest in my vehicle came via gumtree.

If you haven't already done so, I would also suggest you advertise the vehicle on this site

Hi Bar, sorry for the delay in response - have had a hectic few weeks and already sold the truck for the asking price in Cape Town. Thanks for your interest and good luck in your search!

Tim

Thanks Matt - You are right, I had it on Gumtree and had most interest via that channel. Also the eventual buyer.

Thanks Hornet - also advertised there and got a number of enquiries.
