Willy, our beloved truck, was specifically designed for long stay overlanding in sub-Sahara Africa, tested by 2 honeymooners covering 10 countries over a 1-year period and approx. 35,000km (from Cape Town to Kenya and back ). Overall, the vehicle is in mint condition and runs very smoothly. It's been professionally cleaned and received a major service.
Vehicle Details:

• Full 4x4 (manual low and high range gear settings as well as front and rear differential lock capacity)
Note: it’s a two-seater as we removed the back seats to increase the storage capacity
Summary of mechanical upgrades:

• Auxiliary battery (to power the fridge among others next to the main car battery)
• Several charging stations (USB, as well as EU power plugs to charge laptops,cameras etc). Also has a ‘’camper” power socket so you can charge the batteries from the grid while camping
• 120W solar panel
• Removed the back seats to install a custom-made platform for increased storage (hence Willy is a 2-seater only)
• ARB Portable Air Compressor fitted in the engine bay
• ARB Differential breather kit

Full disclosure: as we’ve driven through thick bush, there are a few scratches on the sides of the vehicle (nothing major, hardly visible). Next, there were 2 little ‘oepsies’ (1 involving a light bump with a wooden overhang and the other by using a high lift jack to get unstuck), resulting in minor cosmetic damage which should be easy to remedy A detailed brochure (including additional pictures and more information) is attached.
