Description
1996 Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series VX Limited – 45, 000 Miles – Jade Mica Green
If you're looking at this advert, you probably already know what an 80 Series Land Cruiser is all about. These trucks need very little introduction.
This particular example, however, is rather special. I personally imported it into the UK in May 2026. With just 45, 000 miles covered, exceptional preservation, absolutely zero rust and all the desirable factory options, it represents a particularly rare opportunity to acquire an 80 Series in truly remarkable condition.
Finished in the spectacular Jade Mica Green, complemented by its stunning original velour interior. A particularly distinctive and, in my opinion, one of the most desirable colour combinations available on these trucks. Combined with its exceptionally low mileage, condition, original features and factory triple-lock specification, this is a very difficult example to find.
On the road, it drives just as an 80 Series should — remarkably tight, light, nimble, precise and responsive.
