Highlights

Rare LX version with opening sunroof
Believed by the vendor to have never been used off-road

The Appeal

The LJ70 is among the most coveted variants of Toyota's legendary Land Cruiser lineage. Compact, mechanically robust, and built to tackle any terrain, the short-wheelbase LJ70 has earned a devoted following among enthusiasts who value simplicity and durability. The LX specification, complete with an opening sunroof, adds a welcome layer of desirability to an already compelling package.

This left-hand-drive 1987 example, finished in anthracite metallic over a grey interior, presents in well-preserved condition. The vendor describes the bodywork as exceedingly smart, while the interior shows only minimal signs of wear. An increasingly rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained example of one of Toyota's most enduring off-roaders.
