Wanted Wanted: Low KM 78/79 series LHD 4 door / troopy for import to Canada (1 Viewer)

Year

2005

Vehicle Model

1. 70 Series

Location

United States

I recently did an overland trip around Namibia in a rented LC79, kitted for camping. Mostly unintentionally, put that thing through situations I was certain would break ANYTHING.. and it didn't even hint at a problem. Fell in love with the platform right there.
After being a fairly long time reader, it's obvious this is one of the best places to look for a platform to build my own.
Hoping to find a unicorn, to build an overland vehicle. Me, and everyone else I imagine.. but a guys got to try.
Ideally a 4 door pickup (extended if possible), but a Troopy works.
LHD is a must.
2005 or older (Canada import laws are 15+ yrs.)
Relatively Low KM's and overall excellent condition
All mechanical & Diesel specs obv.
If anyone has worked with reputable importers / people that take on this sort of thing, please let me know.
Thank you!

Nothing worth having comes without some kind of fight

Troopy shouldn't be too hard. You Canadians are lucky--in the USA we need to wait until a car is over 25 years old.

Not sure where you'd find a LHD four door pickup, though. Toyota didn't make them that long ago AFAIK, and the conversions were all either South Africa or Australia, so RHD (I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong about that).

Anyway, here's a LHD, low km's Troopy already kitted for camping:

Toyota from € 29,975.-

Find your Toyota € 29,975.- – At AutoScout24: a European automotive classifieds leader.

www.autoscout24.com

Close to the port at Zeebrugge, so not to expensive to get it on a ship.

Or this one, seems to be all stock:

There are others on both websites.

Your unicorn may well be here in Canada (Calgary) already.

Man, that is sweet. Do you export these an on ongoing basis, or is this a one off? Curious about whether you track down other specs down there for customers. Either way, this is beautiful.
