The Appeal

The Toyota Land Cruiser range is the stuff of legends, with exceptional build quality and capable of handling the toughest terrain the Land Cruiser is known the world over. Thanks to its combination of impressive performance and quality it has become Toyotas longest running production model. This particular Land Cruiser features the superb 4,164cc turbo diesel engine as well as a top spec interior and is finished in gorgeous metallic red making it one of the best Land Cruisers we have seen. 
In fantastic condition for its age and mileage with extensive service history,  it’s a vehicle anyone would be proud to own. It also benefits from a recent cambelt and with plenty of MOT it’s the perfect towing/utility vehicle, or for anyone  looking for a truly versatile car that can go anywhere whilst maintaining a high level of comfort.
