Wanted: Toyota LC80 for Central Asia Expedition

[BigO]

Hi All,

I'm preparing for an overland trip to Central Asia next year. After watching the market for several months I've decided to post a wanted ad to help the search.

I'm in the market for a LC80 Diesel Manual or Auto. In an ideal world it would already be partially prepared for an expedition but its not necessary. I'm open to a cheaper version that I do the work on as well. My primary goal is to get a vehicle that has a solid body and engine capable of making the journey to China and back. An mileage under 175-200k will be considered.

The LC80 that Ecoman had for sale a few weeks back was ideal but I missed out. Ecoman has been trying to help me find something suitable since. viewtopic.php?f=16&t=15099

My ideal budget is in the 4-6k pounds range depending on the amount of preparation work required. I'm happy to hear from anybody that knows of something suitable, even if its a little higher priced than my ideal range.

Watching this as I am quite interested myself in a trip to the East.
Similar to Rob's Mongolia Trip
I hope you find a good one, as I think since Rob's Mongolia trip to the East, there may be a few in the wings, who would also like to venture out that way.

Hi All,

Not much joy so far on the LC80 front. I'm happy to consider LC 100 series cars as well if anybody has one for sale.
