a ready made overlander for sale

Selling 92 landcruiser 80 series all ready for an overland tour.

The car and i are currently doing our way from Johannesburg to- Capetown, Namibia, Botswana, Zambia, Malawi, Tanzania, Mozambique. we will return to Johannesburg in october.

The car will be sold in Johannesburg around october 2008 (flexible).

The good thing about this car other than it's good machanical condition is that it has got all you need (and nothing that you don't need) for your African adventure. just fly in and go...

It took allot of thought to get this travel setup and I can honestly say that it's very good (I'm testing it on a daily basis as it's my home for the last months). the setup is currently made to support 4 people (2 sleep in the car and 2 in a tent) but there is room in the car for 5 but will be a little crowded.
