the pound isn't what it used to be. i think you'd be restricted to india / nepal / SE asia for a long time.
shipping will cost a bomb, so will the carnet.
in asia, accommodation is about $5 a night for room, a/c & ensuite if it looks like you're staying more than a night or two. why would you want to stay in a 'mog?
my suggestion FWIW, sell / forget the 'mog & take a small bike - you aren't in a hurry so power / speed / offroad capability don't matter, you just want your independence. this will cut fuel, carnet & shipping to the bone.
lastly, i wouldn't want to retire knowing i'm gonna be eating spaghetti and tuna cooked on a petrol stove for the rest of my life. i know you're a brit and i'm an aussie, but what would life be without steak and  ?
