The Appeal
You could buy a classic Range Rover. Or you could opt for this exceptionally well-kept example of its deadly rival, the superb J60. if you do, you’re unlikely to find a better one, and it’ll probably be a long time before you park next to another one.
This late-model J60 spent its life in Japan on salt-free roads and enjoyed that nation’s fastidious maintenance standards before arriving in the UK last year. That explains the remarkable condition, topped off with a smart two-tone beige and brown theme inside and out. It is the desirable High Roof model and has been upgraded to VX Sahara specification. Beneath the bonnet is the powerful and economical 12H-T 4L turbo diesel engine.
The vendor imported it to the UK and has enjoyed it sparingly for shows. Recent work has included servicing, attention to the brakes and rebuilding the swivel hub, including gearings and seals. It is reported to run and drive very well with no issues. That is confirmed by the long MOT that runs to April 2026.
This Land Cruiser looks like it could go literally anywhere, all with a high level of style. One not to miss
