2001 Toyota Land Cruiser Amazon VX

Highlights 

  • Only 3 owners
  • Good service history
  • 7-seater version
  • Great original condition
  • Recent service and cambelt


The Appeal

This is a very clean and tidy Land Cruiser Amazon VX, the huge 4X4 go anywhere vehicle that benefits from the 4.2 diesel engine, automatic transmission and the highest of all specs, the VX model. 

The 100 series of the legendary Land Cruiser Amazon is the one to go for with its increased on and off road abilities and the greatly improved and more sophisticated and comfortable interior.

The History and Paperwork

  • First registered in 2001
  • Purchased from Toyota as an ex-demo after 18 months
  • One owner since then until January of this year
  • Full-service record with main Dealers and specialists 
  • Original owner’s manuals and workshop manual included
  • 7-seater version
  • Spare wheel and toolkit
  • 3 Keys
  • MOT until 21 July 23
  • V5c present
Bought as an ex-demo from Toyota and then owned by one lady owner until only recently with recent full service and cambelt change.

The Interior

  • Beige leather interior
  • Sunroof and air conditioning
  • Original stereo
  • Load cover
  • 7 seats
Inside the cabin is in great overall condition with only the driver’s seat showing signs of its age and mileage.

Otherwise the cabin presents really well and still has the original radio fitted which still works fine (if you manually extend the electric aerial) and plays cassette tapes.

All the electrics work as they should, and the carpets, door cards and headlining, along with the dashboard and centre console are clean and in good presentable condition.

The Exterior

  • Metallic British Racing Green
  • Original alloys with good tyres
  • Good overall condition
The Metallic British Racing Green paintwork still looks pretty good and bodywork has picked up a few small dings, scratches and scuffs along the way but overall the car presents itself very well.

The original alloys are in very nice condition with good tyres and the bumpers and window seals all look very good, with only a small crack in the windscreen and some stone chips to the front, to report.

The Mechanics

  • Regularly maintained and driven
  • Low mileage for a Land Cruiser
  • Full-service history
  • Last serviced earlier this year
Constantly maintained throughout its long-term ownership the car has been kept in excellent running order and is reported to start on the button and drive superbly. 
The last MOT had a couple of advisories regarding slight corrosion to the seat-belt anchoring points and the condition of the drive shaft rubber boots, but other than these two minor issues the car ready to drive having recently been fully serviced and a new cambelt.

Summary

A very nice and genuine example of the 100 series Land Cruiser Amazon, with few owners, great service history, all the extra niceties in the VX version and the more economical, though plenty powerful, diesel engine

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.
