goran_noren asked about Jeeps in Pakistan. Well its 10 years since we lived there, had a great time and though it lacks a 'deserted' hinterland, there is a lot of wild land - great for off-roading - but whenever you stop there is a crowd that builds up very quickly.
The vast majority of the old M38s were rebuilt and stretched for use up in the mountains, a very few were bought and retained in green by both ex-pat and Pakistani entheusiasts. Some, they were cheap were just treated as toys. Mine certainly was! Two owners back it was pink! When I bought it for all of £1,500, all the fittings were chromed, I'll sort out some pictures.
Jeep parts and renovation was a bit of a minefield. I had been using a chap called Bhatthi in the engineers section of Rawalpindi. He had a yard along a back street - a muddy lane where his men worked on stretch jeeps.
Big mistake, he got so far and effectively stopped, I think he had his eye on a free jeep! What does a Brit do?
Well, fortunately I had a very good friend Yeldram who I worked with, Afghani background, loads of mates, in particular the Afghani Taxi mafia who paid a visit to Bhatthi and suggested that he finish work on the jeep double quick!
Not the best restoration project but a complete strip down, all paint removed, primed and repainted, new brake lines and a new canvas, replacement seats and loads of other bits for about £300.
Shortly after that, it was loaded onto a container and shipped to Britain.
Realistically the problem with shipping Jeeps to the UK from Pakistan - I had considered it as well - is the horrendous paperwork, finding an agent who you can trust and the cost of getting the Jeep(s) both from wherever they are in Pakistan to Karachi, then on to the UK.
Also, Pakistan is less and less safe as time goes by. While we were there, though there were bombings and riots, Europeans were not targets as such, even so it was less safe by the time we left in 1998 than when we arrived in 1994.
