For sale is a 2001 Toyota Landcruiser 95, VX Model. I built this vehicle for a 2015 overland journey which went without incident (from the Landcruiser at least). I have since moved to another country on a permanent basis and therefore I would like to sell. Loads of pictures on request (payne.hamish@gmail.com).
I am asking
£12 995 and hoping for a quick sale at a competitive price. I am willing to deliver this car in Europe for the right selling price. It can be viewed in Scotland. You can call my Norwegian number (+47 94 504576) where I live now or drop me an email and I can call you back (payne.hamish@gmial.com).
The base car was a FSH Toyota Landcruiser 95, right hand drive (UK) and in VX trim with leather seats etc. I have spent 2 months overhauling and transforming the Landcruiser into an overland vehicle. The vehicle is capable of tackling almost any terrain in the world while keeping the occupants safe and happy.
The vehicle is completely self-sufficient with water supply, batteries for electricity, fridge, cooking equipment and sleeping accommodation. All work has been carried out to a very high standard, avoiding cheap look-alike Chinese parts at all cost. The vehicle is ready to be driven on an adventure on the day of purchase without any further work. Of course there are always upgrades to be done if that is your idea of fun.
The vehicle can be used in two different modes;
Mode 1 – The back bench of three seats can be installed and the vehicle can carry 5 people very comfortably. This is idea for trips where long range fuel, water and spare parts are not required.
Mode 2 – The back bench of seats are removed and replaced with long range fuel, water , spare parts and tools. 2 people can then be self-sufficient off road in the wilds for around a week (distance dependent) comfortably.
The vehicle is in A1 mechanical health and ready for someone big adventure. Most importantly it has been on its initial shakedown trip to work out the little niggles. There has been nearly 1000 hours and £21 000 spent and the next owner will be getting a real bargain.
