Toyota Landcruiser VX Limited 4.5 petrol 24v

There are very few vehicles that have earned a reputation quite like the Toyota Land Cruiser. Built with durability, reliability and longevity as the primary focus, the 80 Series has become one of the most sought-after classic 4x4s in the world. Values have steadily increased over recent years as enthusiasts and collectors recognise what these vehicles represent – a level of engineering and build quality that is unlikely to ever be repeated. Finding a genuinely exceptional example, however, is becoming increasingly difficult. Deane Motors are delighted to present this stunning 1996 Toyota Land Cruiser VX Limited, freshly imported from Japan and undoubtedly one of the finest examples currently available. Finished in its original factory specification, this VX Limited benefits from excellent documented service history from Japan and has clearly been cherished throughout its life. The bodywork presents beautifully throughout, with straight panels, excellent paintwork and a freshness that is immediately apparent upon inspection. Perhaps most importantly, this Land Cruiser has arrived from Japan in remarkably rust-free condition. Anyone familiar with these vehicles will know that corrosion has become the greatest enemy of surviving 80 Series Land Cruisers. Finding one with an underside as clean and original as this is exceptionally rare and a major factor in its desirability and long-term collectability. Power comes from Toyota’s legendary 4.5-litre 24-valve petrol engine, widely regarded as one of the most dependable engines ever produced. Smooth, refined and virtually indestructible when maintained correctly, it perfectly suits the character of the Land Cruiser and delivers effortless performance whether cruising on the motorway or exploring further afield. On the road, this example drives exactly as a great Land Cruiser should. It is quiet, comfortable and remarkably composed, with none of the creaks, rattles or unwanted noises often associated with ageing four-wheel drives. The engine performs flawlessly, the transmission shifts smoothly and the vehicle inspires confidence from the moment you get behind the wheel. Being the range-topping VX Limited model, it is exceptionally well specified and retains a beautifully preserved original interior. The cabin remains in excellent condition throughout and serves as a reminder of the quality and durability that made these vehicles famous across the globe. Prior to delivery, this Land Cruiser will receive a major service, together with a fresh NCT, ensuring it is ready for its next owner to enjoy immediately. As clean, original and honest examples continue to disappear from the market, vehicles of this calibre are becoming increasingly difficult to source. Combining exceptional condition, Japanese provenance, outstanding originality and one of Toyota’s greatest engines, this is an opportunity to acquire one of the very best 80 Series Land Cruisers currently available.
