Highlights

Increasingly rare 80 Series with the desirable 24-valve 4.2-litre turbodiesel and manual gearbox
Recent full service including cambelt and water pump reportedly carried out by a Toyota specialist
History file including original service book, bills, and most previous MOTs

The Appeal

The 80 Series Land Cruiser is widely regarded as one of the most capable and durable off-road vehicles ever produced, and examples in good, original condition are becoming increasingly difficult to find. The combination of the 24-valve 4.2-litre turbodiesel engine, manual gearbox, and switchable diff-lock makes this GS specification particularly sought after.

This 1996 example, finished in metallic grey over grey cloth, benefits from a well-documented ownership history and recent specialist maintenance. The cabin retains its original grey cloth trim, though the vendor notes slight cracking on the driver and passenger seats. With 80 Series examples in this reported condition becoming ever scarcer, this well-documented Land Cruiser warrants close inspection.
