. Year of Registration: 2000

History
This is a one owner from new one careful experienced driver top of the range British registered Isuzu. It's in excellent mechanical condition, with a few minor bumps and scrapes and a bit of a dent in the driver's door.

I drove it with three friends from London to Cape Town last year, with no breakdowns and no getting stuck. It had planned maintenance of a new clutch (first since new), new rear brake pads, and new heavy duty rear springs in Nairobi. It comes with a complete new rear differential which cost nearly £1800, as I thought it might be needed, but wasn't. Tyres are good on/off road tread pattern, about 30% worn, spare almost new. Engine is superb, and uses virtually no oil.

There is not much service history paperwork because I've used it almost exclusively in Asia and Africa, but it has been regularly serviced. It is currently safely parked in Cape Town and is on a Carnet de Passages in my name. The buyer would need to undertake to take the car out of South Africa before September 30th 2011 and return the carnet to me for cancellation - you would also need a carnet in your own name to continue your travel through Africa. Alternatively I might be prepared to get a new Carnet in my name with appropriate guarantees from the buyer.

  It was customized in 2007 with a wide range of fittings and equipment, making it possible for two people to be self-sufficient for up to two weeks in the bush.  The Hilux has been lovingly maintained and is in excellent condition. The engine has only 251,350 km on the clock and uses less than a litre of oil per 10,000 km, even when working hard.  A new clutch has just been fitted and the vehicle comes with four new tyres and three good spares.

  Modifications, Fittings and Accessories described below would cost around 80,000 Rand in South Africa - £8,000/9,200Euros.

• Also in the canopy is the second battery, controlled by a dual-battery system in the cab.
• To deal with the extra weight of the large canopy, petrol and water, as well as all the equipment, it has been fitted with Old Man Emu Suspension system and also has strengthened springs.

  Some travel history on the Rangie:

  
  

  I did various trips to Botswana and southern Mozambique when I first bought her. Then I did a 20 000km, 6 month trip in 2001/2002 through southern and eastern Africa. Apart from mostly routine maintenance she ran with no breakdowns or major problems the whole trip. In 2004 we did a 7000km trip up the entire Mozambique coast. The gearbox, transfer box and propshafts were rebuilt on our return. Since then we have only done short trips in SA and 3 trips to Botswana but the car has done very little mileage in this time. I bought her from the second owner who had owned her for 9 years. Previous owner's details available if necessary.

  She's a good, honest overland truck with simple robust mechanicals and conventional electrics (i.e. no electronics) Spares are readily available in South Africa and in East Africa too. Kenya was the second biggest market in the world for Rangies after the UK and the Rangie chassis and engines were used in the Discovery Series 1 of which there are still plenty around. Since the odo only goes to 99 999km and since I have replaced the instrument cluster I don't know the exact mileage but it is under 300 000km. This is low as both the second owner and I used the Rangie as a holiday and weekend vehicle only.

  The Rangie currently gets driven every weekend. Everything is 100% and she's ready for the next big trip.

1999 Toyota Hilux Raider Double Cab, SA Reg.

• Make: Toyota
  
• Model: Hilux Raider
  
• CC: 3000
  
• Gearbox: Manual
  
• Fuel: Diesel
  
• Country of Registration: South Africa
  
• Year of Registration: 1999
  
• Current Location: Tanzania
  
• KM: 355,000
  
• Date of last service: Dec 2010
  
• Notes: This vehicle may seem expensive compared to some of the others on this page however the owner swears blind that this is money well spent:
  
  "Yes it is all the equipment and done up suspension and winch and things like that as written. Also the engine is in perfect condition and is a bullitproof engine. There are no cracks or anything like that anywhere on vehicle.
  
  Even though it has 355000 on the clock the engine does not use any oil at all and the compression is perfect. They say you don't need to touch this engine for 500,000kms. I spent 13,000 USD on equipment and tools and spairs all of which go with the vehicle.
  
  I spent $26,000 total. so for my 1.5 year trip it cost me $6000.00 if i sell it for 20,000. These models are hard to come bye and a lot stronger than the later ones.

  If you wish to resell this vehicle you will most likely get all or most of your money back at the end of your trip. These vehicles are hard to come by and really sought after. it took me 2 weeks to find this one and as soon as it came in i got it and there were others that wanted it. I was really lucky to be in the right place at the right time."
