The Appeal
This short-wheelbase Toyota Land Cruiser is effectively a lightweight iteration of the legendary Toyota off-roader. Not officially available for most international markets (unless it's a significantly less-luxurious Prado), it's become as rare as hen's teeth, and arguably the most versatile, unusual iteration of the traditional Cruiser.
This 2003 Land Cruiser VXE represents the more luxurious specification of this iconic off-roader, and has never ventured off of the asphalt - a good, solid, capable car that's enjoyed a quiet life. Having been current ownership since 2005, this French-registered example comes with some service history and a valid Controle Technique.
