1994 Toyota Land Cruiser VX Turbo 80 Series

Highlights


  • A very original survivor in great condition for its age and mileage
  • 4.3-litre turbo diesel coupled to an automatic gearbox with high and low range
  • Incredibly rugged vehicle capable of going just about anywhere

The Appeal


If there’s a car you can rely on above all others, it has to be the Toyota Land Cruiser. Not only are they amongst the most capable off-roaders ever made, a Land Cruiser will keep on working mile after mile.

Testament to their longevity, here we have a 1994 VX Turbo 80 Series that has covered an indicated 188,999 miles. Naturally, it’s still going strong and not only that, it’s also in really good condition. 

Furthermore, they’re immensely comfortable and make great family transport. So if you’re tired of your lesser all-roader breaking down, or fancy a good old fashioned 4X4 for family duties, then this Toyota has you covered.

The safest way to buy a classic car online

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

C&C 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 £10,000 £100.00
£10,000 to £50,000 £250.00
£50,000 to £100,000 £500.00
£100,000+ £1000.00

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.

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.
