left hand drive WAnted

[gambiasurfgirl]

hi,I am looking to buy a HILUX SURF.I have a maximum budget of £1000.
this is a list of what i need in order of priority.
LEFT Hand drive
automatic
2.4 turbo diesel
tow bar
front winch bumper
2" lift
interesting fancy paintwork
spotlights.
nice stereo system with cassette cd mp3 etc.
I am not bothered about dents ,dings ,rust or MOT,tax (except to get it home to luton).

surfs dont come in left hand drive only right hand drive
the closest you'll get is a 4runner from a country that drives on the opposite side of the road.

[gwh200]

And a winch bumper, will be approx£500 by itself. Good luck searching though.

If you find that spec and walk away cause it's RHD, gimme a shout, sounds like a bargain.

ok, i know my list of thing of priority turns into fantasy...but it is a list of priority,just a left hand drive with a decent engine and gearbox will do!

finding a left hooker 4 runner in the uk.

iv'e been in the land of left hookers for nearly ten years and ive only seen 1 lefty 4 runner.

maybe theres a few more in germany/france etc but there's next to none in holland.

best of luck.

A left hand drive 4 Runner over here will set you back about 4-6,000€.
Thats why I have a right hand drive in France.

If you do find a LHD drive for 1k,let me know and I'll give you 2k the day after

Regards

I'd look to be importing a US 4Runner if you want LHD, but it won't be diesel.

[Vagrant No2]

Seen LHD 4Runners around here (US bases) but none are diesel.

You might be looking towards Asia then for left hand drive. There seems to be a big following in countries like Thailand and there are plenty of diesel ones out there.

However, a £1K for a left hooker is pure cuckoo land!! I've driven my RHD Surf abroad and there are no issues driving it on the worng side of the road when you sit above all the traffic.

Get a RHD version that won't break down on you for £1500, then sell it for much more when you get to The Gambia!! No brainer!!

ETA: Fill yer boots!!

Yep, there's more chance of Yoshie being in a good mood than finding a LHD diesel Surf over here.

ok, I hear you guys,how about left hand bits to convert my current 2.4td rhd?

[ROMEROTECH]

By the sounds of it things like Hens Teeth, Rocking Horse Droppings, Dodo Eggs and Flying Pigs would be easier to find than LHD Surf conversion.

There must be other 4x4's that are easy to find in LHD format e.g. Jeep. There's plenty of Americana around, cool looking day vans and other yank 4x4 capable pickups etc...

I understand why perhaps you want to leave Luton. I lived there for a very long time and i couldn't wait to leave the god forsaken flea ridden rubbish dump of a festering shitehole either.

I was looking at doing that conversion a few months back. I did find a complete LHD dash for sale (on www.mobile.de) I think.
What put me off was the large amount of electrical work involved, on top of that you'll need the steering bits and pieces.
I went to Germany and bought a LHD pick up a month or so ago. I've just received all the British docs through. Cost 55 quid to stick it on UK plates.
It'll be driven back to Serbland next month.

In addition to that the firewall is a different shape to carry such things as the servo,etc
I've looked at buying a doner LHD and dropping the body on to my chassis,but would it be easier to drop my mechanicles into the doner and scrap mine?? Either way,from what I've seen over here,I'd still need to give 1-1.5k for a reasonable LHD doner!

Stick with the RHD,it really is not a problem!!
