Description
A chance to buy a much-loved, off-road classic at a very realistic price!
Renowned for its capability and reliability worldwide, this iconic Toyota Land Cruiser LJ70 2. 5 Turbo Diesel engine (88 bhp) is an absolute gem. These vehicles are rare and we couldn't believe our luck when we got the chance to buy this during Lockdown. We’ve had great fun driving this tidy machine on and off-road around Scotland and the Lake District and she just keeps on giving. Easy to drive and great fun on green lanes. We purchased from a collector and the mileage was already high – but that’s not uncommon for these cars – and it’s never been an issue since as clearly the engine is built to take it.
Spec includes: Decent bodywork and a nice clean interior for its age; fully working engine (8 months MOT with no advisories), 2. 4 turbo diesel engine with 5-speed manual gearbox; all-terrain tyres with spare on rear; electric windows and sunroof (these Land Cruisers are the best for all-round driving visibility); power steering; aluminium rear step plate; rear seat heating controls; heated rear windows; radio and part service history.
Last year it had a new cylinder head fitted including new gaskets and seals and a new battery and with 10 months MOT it's ready to go for anyone looking to go off-roading from day one - but also an affordable project for classic car enthusiasts looking for a well-priced vehicle that they can take to the next level with some restorative TLC.
There is a rust spot under one of the windows but nothing major. The engine is great and there are no nasty dents or scratches. A genuine UK model with 4 registered keepers. - not an import.
