The Appeal
If you need a vehicle that can literally go anywhere, and keep going when it gets there, it’s wise counsel to buy the one that adventurers, trekkers and farmers the world over swear by. That’s the Toyota Land Cruiser.
Every Land Cruiser exhibits those qualities but the LJ70 delivered an especially no-nonsense, frill-free approach to the business of traversing any terrain put in its way. Ultra reliable and utterly capable, survivors are only rare because they’ve usually been driven very, very hard.
This well kept LJ70 SWB is therefore a rarity, albeit one that has clearly been used and enjoyed as intended. It is an original UK market, non-sunroof model and has received recent mechanical improvements. The condition is confirmed by its long, advisory-free MOT, which a glance at the photographs merely reinforces. Unprepossessing yet utterly capable, it looks ready for work.
