A top specification Land Cruiser with the sought after V8, 4.7L engine
A very low original mileage averaging a mere 4,400 miles a year on average
Compete with an LPG conversion making it a very cost effective V8 to run
The Appeal
The Toyota Land Cruiser has manged to build a formidable reputation since the original model’s arrival back in 1951. It’s legendary ruggedness and, resulting, longevity has seen it used extensively in some of the world’s least accessible and hostile places. As a result, over 10,000,000 units have been sold worldwide.
This J200 example boasts an amazing specification to ensure the new owner can get the maximum enjoyment from it. It can seat seven in leather-bound luxury and its powerful V8 engine is rated at 284 bhp, giving sufficient smooth power for every eventuality. This example sounds amazing too thanks to its GD sports exhausts.

Summary
This is a car for all seasons and all circumstances. It seats seven, has an impressive towing capacity and immense off-road credentials and capability. It has an interior that many limousines can’t rival, and the LPG conversion brings an added bonus to the mix.
It’s a Toyota, too, meaning it is beautifully built, looks great and should continue to bring joy for many, many years to come. With a mere 66,000 miles travelled it is just getting into its stride, afterall.

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.

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.
