Lefthand drive vehicle

Carodin

I am planning to take part in a charity rally from plymouth to Banjul in january next but I need a cheap diesel car, can anyone help, either with a car or details of where I might be able to locate one, my friend lives in essex and would be available to view cars etc. At the end of the rally the car will be auctioned off and the money used for local charities in the Gambia.

Thanks x

How is it on fuel consumption, the drive is approx 3700 miles!

prob wont be that good due to age but as they was built for rallying they would cope the mileage and terrain although diesel would prob return 20 mpg on a 15 year old

Always plenty of cheap cars on ebay, Your too fussy lol.

Try local main dealers explain the situation they may sell you a part ex thats come in.

Most get sold to regular traders or straight to auction.

As you are going to Africa, I'd recommend a Peugeot, as they are very popular in Africa, so parts availability is much better than for other brands - an important consideration for the future buyer.

I would tend to agree depending on the route you take.

Old Renault 4 anyone?

This 404 is a car you should seriously look at:-

The guys in Africa can keep this going with a vinegar and brown paper

Unfortunately LHD vehicles sell for a premium in the UK, you may be better off widening your search area.
