1996 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER VX 4.5 AUTO

4477cc petrol with LPG. This 80 Series Toyota Land Cruiser, in top-spec VX trim, has been looked after by its present owner for 20 years and stored under cover. It's finished in metallic silver with a smart grey leather interior, and which can seat up to 8 people. The car benefits from a new 'short' 4.5-litre 24v Toyota IFZ-ZE straight-six petrol, installed under 19k miles ago in 2019. It's also equipped with a multi-point sequential LPG system, with a 90-litre LPG tank in the spare wheel well.

The vendor has provided an impressive list of upgrades and maintenance from the last few years, showing a high level of care. Highlights include a PAS pump rebuild, stainless exhaust, waterless coolant, refurbished wheels, rear diff-lock actuator, high-spec Laser ST2 spotlights (conforming to E9 standards), 4x Milner shock absorbers and springs, 8x part-worn BF Goodrich AT tyres, recent starter motor, double-DIN Kenwood multimedia centre with 7in touchscreen and bluetooth, Thatcham 1 alarm and immobiliser, and much more.

He has also alerted us to some minor fabrication required under the rear bumper, and a brake pipe and brake valve (spare included) which need replacing. The air conditioning system is due an overhaul, and the heated seats are not working.

Various spare parts come with the car, including air con components, a spare key and a Haynes manual. The history file contains a large collection of MoTs and receipts from throughout the vendor's 20-year tenure. There have been six owners from new, and the car has an MoT to 5th December 2025. The car was first registered on 20th August 1996, and the odometer is showing 231,916 miles.
