As usual, not mine, no affiliation, but a noteworthy car if you can look past the red paint, the reflective tape, and the blue emergency lights.
1988 BJ75 Troop Carrier with a reported 112,000km original. Said to be garage kept, with no rust, and well maintained (hard to find rust free examples in this part of the world, so I'd suggest any would-be buyers get detailed photos of any rust-prone areas to confirm the seller's claim). Looks like it was originally 045 white paint. Pretty bare-bones model with no a/c or lockers. Interior looks to be nice other than a few extra bits of hardware mounted here and there.
Seller says he can arrange delivery to the US, which is a plus if you don't want to arrange it yourself. Shipping port not too far away, so intra-Europe transport shouldn't be too expensive. A ride on a RORO ship from there to the US should be around $2k.
Reasonably priced at 18,950 Euro, which works out to about US$20,500, which isn't bad given the mileage and maintenance. The dollar is in good shape vs. the Euro right now. If you're willing to do some time with a heat gun and some solvent to get all the stickers off of it, it might work out to be a good deal.
Some photos for posterity:
