....Survive a trip to Mongolia going the long(ish) way round, we are hoping to do this 8,800mile trip in 28days. Our intended route:
As the route takes us down a few questionable paths we would ideally like the following characteristics for our gallant steed:
4wd - Mountain ranges, deserts and our navigation so a 4wd would defiantly be a bonus.
High ground clearance - Due to some countries unable to provide us with a smooth tarmacked road (how rude!) something able to handle the multitude of potholes would be an advantage.
Reliable as possible - We are equipped with only basic mechanical skills!
25mpg+ - Otherwise I may have to sell my body to pay for petrol half way round and no one would be interested.
The rules the Rally insist we have to get our steed in Tax free (so maximum £££ to the charity at the end) and to get it in Tax Free it has to be:
Less than 100,000miles on the clock from the day we set off
Less than 15 years old from the day we set off (July the 11th 2009)
AND either of the following
LPG (duel fuel) or
Some sort of Commercial Vehicle (Pick Ups, Vans...anything as long as it's either got an open back OR no rear seats and no rear windows (we can't just take the seats out and box up the windows either!)
The Budget: £1,500
