This vehicle was purchased by ourselves to fulfill a commission given us by an old and valued client to: Source, Purchase & Prepare a suitable 4x4 with Air Conditioning and an Automatic Gearbox to undertake an overland trip from London to Capetown via the West Coast of Africa. Our client is a very experienced "Overlander" and we have dealt with his vehicles previously.
In consultation with our client and our own experience the Landcruiser LC5 D-4D was deemed the best suited vehicle for the task providing a suitable candidate could be found within the constraints of his budget. The Toyota was chosen for its renowned capability, durability and repairability (if needed) within Africa. At the time of purchase in July 2023 we carried out an extensive national search for the vehicle and tested a number of vehicles. The vehicle we chose was by far the best available in terms of condition, mileage, service history and colour (being silver and highly reflective for the hot destination)
Once purchased we began an intensive inspection, complete service and preparation for the journey - a full list of work carried out follows and all invoices are present:

The original suspension was replaced all round with Peddars Shock absorbers & springs and d/links & Front Top Mounts also fitted
4 Wheel Laser Tracking
All belts replaced: Timing Belts & Damper and Auxiliary Drive Belts
Water Pump Replaced - coolant drained, flushed and renewed
Battery Replaced and alternator & starter health checked
2 additional keys were cut & coded - 3 keys present
Air Con Pressure Sensor Replaced
Rear Left Brake caliper replaced
Front Outer CV boot replaced
Night Breaker + 50% Bulbs Fitted
Wiper Blades fitted
OILS - Engine Oil & Filter, Gearbox Oil, Filter and Gasket, Trans Box and Both Diffs
Air Filter & Diesel Filter Renewed & Diesel Injector Cleaner Applied
4 New KUMHO MT51 Oversized Tyres Fitted ( Giving additional ground clearance

The vehicle includes: An Air Snorkel ( not fitted ), 4 Part Worn Road Tyres (not Fitted) & Rear Door Spare Wheel Carrier ( not Fitted)

The original plan was to use the vehicle in the UK through the winter as a shake down and return it to the workshop prior to departure for the following work:
New Engine Oil & Filter
Replace Air Filter With "Washable" filter
Fit Air Snorkel
Fit Spare carrier, purchase 6th wheel and 2 more Tyres
Re-Gas Air Conditioning
Replace Front Brake Discs and Brake Pads (front & rear)
Drain and renew Brake Fluid
NB Aside from the Air Snorkel and Spare Wheel Carrier none of the above parts or labour are included in the price but we are happy to quote.

Our client planned to purchase and have us fit various additional equipment & remove all the rear seats prior to departure - roof tent, camping gear and storage nets etc. - this has not been done

Unfortunately our client ( a very lively and active man of 80) has suffered from a medical issue which precludes him from undertaking his planned trip and he has asked us to sell the vehicle on his behalf.

We have priced the vehicle in its current condition to sell at £10995 - this is considerably below the cost of the vehicle and the work undertaken but is an excellent opportunity for anyone considering Offroading or Overlanding! THE VEHICLE MAY BE VIEWED BY APPOINTMENT NEAR CANTERBURY, KENT, UK
