Antarctic New Zealand sells off unique landcruiser

From Midday Report, 12:46 pm on 5 February 2021

A 17 year-old Toyota Landcruiser that's spent most of its life in Antarctica is up for sale.

The age and condition of the 2004 truck means it is no longer fit for purpose in the Antarctic and is being retired to New Zealand. It has no warrant or registration, but since it was listed last night, it has 93 bids with the price already reaching more than $25,000.

Emma Hatton spoke to Antarctic New Zealand's head of operations, Simon Trotter.
