Toyota Land Cruiser - Safari vehicle- looking for a producer or supplier - Milan Reder
Dear Forum members,
I am writing to you from Namibia. I am interested in importing safari type vehicles to Southern African countries. I am looking for a producer or a car dealer of safari vehicles in the UK. Do you know anyone who is involved in selling that type of cars? It can be open or close safari vehicles. I am looking for someone who modifies cars like Toyota Land Cruiser or Land Rover Defender to a safari vehicle.

Regards

Surely you should be looking closer to home?. Given the popularity of the toyota landcruiser (and nissan patrol) in African countries, I'd have thought you would have a much larger selection, much closer to you, than the UK. Same goes for the conversion work.

Our Namibian friend is a bit late on this one, when used car prices reached rock bottom around 2008 even Landcruisers getting on a bit were relatively cheap to buy, lots to be seen waiting on the portsides for export, along with the tougher and more reliable of the general used cars that were about.

Whilst Britian has heavy depreciation of many used vehicles, making them worth buying for export,good Landcruisers and Defenders in particular are holding their values steady, if anything Defenders are now appreciating steadily.

He'd be better off sourcing used vehicles direct from Japan where the chassis will still be rust free at 10 years and as unbreakable as the day they were made, then completing any conversion work on site, 70 series Troop Carrier would do in standard spec, no conversion work needed.
