It was on trademe a couple of weeks ago. Starting price was $50,000 NZ. Its a 1990 so its importable as long as no one thinks its a bus.

Is it locked in all three differentials? Nice ride for cruising the country. I bet it sucks on hills, and the departure angle is tricky.

Not 100% sure, but I think I read that only one axle drives at the back, the other just trails. But damn it looks good!

Its available as a 6x6 or 6x4. I think the company that sells has been trying to convince the army to buy these and ditch the 6x6 landrovers.
There was rubber tracks available for the 6x4 for added traction.
You laid the tracks out on the ground and drove on to them with tyres deflated.
Then you connected the ends of the tracks with pins or couplers.
To get the tracks nice and tight you reinflate the tyres 
The 6X6 usually has the toyota diff at the rear and a Spicer? in the centre.
A former work mate had a 6x6 locked all round and he said it was great off road but a bit tiresome on road.
I think reversing would be a PITA 
There is a 6x6 and a 6x4 troopy for sale locally.Ill try and get some closeups.

I dont know.Probably to make curious people contact the seller so he can explain in detail
Being a tour vehicle it would be high klm and maybe had the engine changed over by now.
Those things cost over $100K new

Agreed. If your price reflects fair value for the # of kms, then why would one be ashamed to list.

Add a Turbo and the 1HZ has 180HP and 270 FT LBS. They would have a fair bit of go in them then.
