The Appeal
The Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series is a special breed among off-roaders, and is often credited with laying down the standard for every 4x4 to come after it. These hearty, over-engineered off-roaders have gained a well-deserved reputation. This particular model is a VX LTD, boasting an upgraded engine, more horsepower, and a superior body build. If you're after a top-class Cruiser that manages to go beyond its illustrious stablemates, it's the perfect opportunity.
This specific Land Cruiser has a unique history, having been imported from Japan in 2014 by its single-family owner. Prior to shipping, it received a comprehensive service from Flex Japan, which included lowering the vehicle, painting the side trims, changing to all-terrain tyres, and getting new rims. Since its arrival in the UK, it has been well-maintained, with a recent MOT and new brake pads.
