Description

100 Series Toyota LandCruiser Amazon VX Facelift, 2005 MY. Legendary 4.2 1HD-FTE 6 cyl diesel - starts instantly, hot or cold, as it should. Regularly achieve 23mpg for extra-urban & up to 34mpg seen for very steady highway use - this is about double what you could reasonably expect from a V8 petrol variant. Archoil fuel additive + premium diesel always used. New completely clean MOT, check the MOT history - a total of only 2 minor advisories in the last 12 years / 100,000 miles. Cold A/C. Nice quick electric windows (a common issue is that these really slow up in time). Supple, thick leather. Removable 3rd row seats giving 7 belted seats in total; they can be fitted and folded up out of the way or easily removed & stored as they are in the photos. Clear glass. 192,000 miles total or, if you like, 9,000 miles/year of constant but sympathetic use, this has been a useful and reliable vehicle every year of it's life so far - worn in and definitely not worn out. Large history file that will come with the vehicle. A few minor age related marks is to be expected for this age/mileage but nothing that stops this lovely truck presenting very well indeed. The 100 Series is generally regarded as the LandCruiser sweet spot between off/on road capability and old/new technology. Very low insurance group & currently 445 RFL pa. Suited to rough terrain, this is also a consummate highway cruiser and fabulous family all-rounder with 2 x IsoFix seats - I would jump in and drive anywhere in a heartbeat. Recent work: Timing belt @ 181,000mls Fuel filter, air filter & oil change + oil filter 5 x Yokohama A/T tyres AHC fluid flush - fully working and graduations between low & high show spheres are very healthy. Re greased prop-shafts joints & slip shaft Lanoguard treated Handbrake adjusted properly New hood & tailgate gas struts Mud tamer front mats Tailored cargo carpet Leather food treated throughout Upgraded (FJ Cruiser) windscreen washer jets Apart from that nothing much really - I have just cared for it, used it and enjoyed it. They say 'never meet your heroes' but this legendary machine has got under my skin and been a total joy. Currently though, I have a hankering to experience something else on my long 4 wheeled bucket list so here I am, testing the market. That aside, I'll also be not be disappointed to keep it if the right person doesn't come along. 19,800.00 ono
