THE APPEAL
The Land Cruiser concept arrived in 1951 as a mobility vehicle for Japan’s National Police Reserve. Over the next 71 years of continuous production, 14 model lines and thousands of variations were created making the vehicle one of the most varied and the longest produced vehicle in Toyota’s history. During that time it has sold more than 10 million examples and become a favourite within the four-wheel drive sector, consistently setting the benchmark for durability, ruggedness, reliability and flexibility.
This example for auction began life as utility vehicle for The Office of Public Works in Ireland and lived an easy life as a patrol vehicle.
The current owner has enjoyed this Land cruiser for nine years but feels the time is right to pass it on to another enthusiastic owner.
Being used every day the vehicle has proved to be an invaluable asset to their family and totally reliable in their ownership.
THE HISTORY AND PAPERWORK
• Current owner for nine years
• Serviced annually
• Original Republic of Ireland brown logbook
• There is a current DOE pass until 2024
• Light on road duties from all previous owners
Two ownership stamps on the logbook are from The Office of Public works in Ireland where it was used as a patrol vehicle and seeing very little or no off-road work in that time.
There are 8 owners listed including three from the current owner’s family as it is used as a business vehicle.
THE INTERIOR
• The interior is solid and in generally good, used, condition.
• All switches and dials are working
• Keys and locks work as they should
• Original and presentable carpets
• Headlining is mark free and retains it colour
• The van section inside is clean but has marks to the paintwork and metal seat backs
• Cloth door liners at the front are clean and show very little wear
Overall, the interior is in a presentable, used condition. The inner liners made from cardboard have a few holes in them and show signs of wear.
Vehicles of this type are rugged and built to withstand everything that's thrown at them. Because of this there are a few marks on the dashboard and the driver's seat edge has had a large patch on the door edge. The rest of the grey seating is in excellent condition.
The owner prefers the Landcruiser to show it's wear as badge of pride and made the decision to keep everything as original as possible in his ownership.
We've been told the side sections can easily be removed and glass inserted if a four-seat conversation was to be done.
THE EXTERIOR
• None metallic paint, easily matched
• Straight panels
• Chrome is in good condition
• Full historic respray in 2013
• Nearly new tyres
The vehicle had a full professional respray in 2013 to the same factory white colour by a company in Mullingar Co Westmeath.
The paint has aged well with a few scuffs and bubbling around the rear wheel arch and a few other spots that could be improved upon.
The brightwork is in good condition. The double doors to the rear open and close very well even with the weight of the new spare tyre attached. We’ve been told all the panels are original and remain virtually unscathed apart from a few small marks.

THE MECHANICALS
• DOE test to confirm that it is roadworthy
• Gears, clutch and brakes all work well
• Underside of the vehicle looks exceptionally clean and protected
• Chassis is in good condition with no signs of impacts
• No signs of welding
The current owner has the vehicle serviced regularly and although there are signs of weathering around the engine components, the owner tells us the car is in excellent repair with no outstanding issues.
The owner of 9 years drives the vehicle every day to travel to work and finds it totally reliable. He loves it to bits and finds it an absolute dream to drive.
SUMMARY
To compete with other vehicles within the segment Toyota identified that the 70 series should be split into two sections – a robust, leaf-sprung, cargo workhorse, and a more comfortable, people-focussed, coil-sprung version primarily tuned for the European market.
The 70 series Land Cruiser therefore arrived to the market in two forms, heavy and light duty. This coil sprung version is a versatile vehicle upholding Toyotas legacy of quality.
It can be used daily as is or the next owner can work on the cosmetics to make a showstopper.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| €0 to €9,999 | €100.00 |
| €10,000 to €49,999 | €250.00 |
| €50,000 to €99,999 | €500.00 |
| €100,000 + | €1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
