The Appeal
Toyota’s Land Cruiser is the sort of vehicle that can get you anywhere and can be depended on to get you out too. Ultra reliable, very luxurious and highly capable, it is one of the greatest 4x4s of the last 30 years.
For the few who demanded something a little extra from the ultimate 4x4 there was the Lexus version. More luxurious and even more expensive, the LX470 was a lightly modified Land Cruiser beloved of high rollers and Your Highnesses.
Including this one. Formerly owned by HRH King of Oman, it lived in the Middle East before arriving in the UK in 2006. Very luxurious and retaining its unprepossessing authority, this is a rare opportunity to acquire a well maintained LX470 with a long MOT and plenty of life left in it.
