Toyota Land Cruiser VX Limited Series 80 4.2 L turbodiesel - 1997

This is the "legendary" series 80; ideal for Africa. It's a very experienced vehicle, somewhat "bush-scarred" by extensive travel in the remoter parts of Southern and Eastern Africa. It's ideal for tough roads as well as comfortable for long journeys on highways. We are in the last 6 weeks of a 9 month trip from Nairobi to Capetown and back, during which we have visited 10 countries. By the time we get back to Nairobi we'll have covered something over 40,000 Km in the car, and would not hesitate to set out on another 40,000 Km in it.

We're planning to sell it in Nairobi at the end of October/early November. It's UK-registered, with current Kenyan & COMESA insurance.
