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.

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.
