And there's more...............
Hi Chris
not sure about that amphibious thing, but the Gaz could be good and cheap?
The volvo certainly looks like a very nice bit of kit, but at what money?
Another thats showing on ebay is this Hanomag, saw quite a few of these in Africa - seem to last for ever.

There was a 6x6 Land Rover FC but it has disappeared - finshed or ended early??

We helped travelled with an Hanomag once, nice body although a 40 year old 2.8 diesel sounds a bit grim. They did do a very creditable west-east Sahara crossing in the 1970s (only 1 of 4 actually got to the end).
I'd buy it just for the back box (we're vaguely looking for a campervan box body if anyone has/knows of one).
Will be interesting to see how much the Volvo goes for...
Ch
PS: looks like the 6x6 101 is still there - good bit of vid here on Route M13 in Western Sahara: http://video.google.com/videoplay?do...06815226648783

just a quick word of warning about ebay.
BEWARE OF SCAMS.
high value vehicle like these and motorhomes are targets for scammers, they either borrow or hire them for when your viewing knowing full well your not going to turn up with 20k in cash. agree a sale, take a hefty deposit and arrange delivery when cheque clears, you never see them again. or you pay by money transfer and thats the last you see of them.
common sense really but some are very convincing.

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.
