1989 Toyota Land Cruiser 4. 0 Diesel – 5 Speed Manual – Rare UK Example
A very rare opportunity to acquire an increasingly sought-after Toyota Land Cruiser 60 Series, one of the most iconic and durable 4x4 vehicles Toyota ever produced.
This 1989 example is fitted with the legendary 4. 0 litre diesel engine paired with the desirable 5-speed manual gearbox. These engines are famous for their longevity and simplicity, and the 60 series has become a highly collectable classic worldwide.
The vehicle shows 183, 600 miles.
Recent Work & Maintenance
The Land Cruiser has recently benefitted from several maintenance items including:
• Welding carried out where required
• Engine oil service
• New diesel fuel filter
• New rear brakes
• Brand new tyres fitted
A fresh MOT will be carried out this week for the new owner.
The vehicle starts well and drives exactly as you would expect from one of these legendary Toyota diesels.
Condition
This is a very solid and honest Land Cruiser that has clearly been well cared for.
The bodywork presents well overall with a lovely straight appearance. As expected with a 36 year old vehicle, there are some age related marks and patina, but nothing that detracts from its character.
The interior remains nicely original and functional, with the classic utilitarian Toyota dashboard and seating layout.
I had the vehicle stored indoors over winter, but it is now outside again as unfortunately it no longer fits inside my new garage, which is the only reason for sale.
Points to Note
In the interest of honesty:
• The stereo is not currently working
• The heater blower fan is not operating (heater still produces hot air)
Summary
The 60 Series Land Cruiser has become one of the most desirable classic 4x4s, with values steadily rising as good examples become harder to find.
This is a very usable, honest example that could be enjoyed exactly as it is or gradually improved over time.
These vehicles are known to run for hundreds of thousands of miles and have built their reputation as one of the toughest vehicles ever produced.
