1997 Land cruiser 89

About this vehicle

**Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series VX 4.5 Petrol 4x4 – Fully Equipped Overland Vehicle** A proper old-school Land Cruiser 80 Series VX — rugged, capable and increasingly difficult to find in this configuration. This is the **4.5-litre petrol 80 Series VX**, set up as a serious touring and overland vehicle while retaining the unmistakable classic Land Cruiser character. It has a commanding stance, excellent ground clearance and the sort of mechanical simplicity and durability for which the 80 Series has become legendary. ### Vehicle Highlights * **Toyota Land Cruiser 80 Series VX** * **4.5-litre petrol engine** * Automatic transmission * Full-time 4WD * VX specification * Silver/grey exterior * Wide-body 80 Series configuration * Raised / off-road stance * Heavy-duty off-road wheels * **285/75 R16 all-terrain / mud-terrain tyres** * Full-size rear-mounted spare wheel * Side steps * Snorkel * Roof-mounted expedition rack * Rear access ladder * Heavy-duty front replacement bumper and bull bar * Integrated winch * Front recovery points * Twin auxiliary driving lights * Extensive LED lighting setup, including roof-mounted LED light bar and spotlights * Additional lower front auxiliary lighting * Tow bar / rear recovery setup * Tinted rear windows * Original Land Cruiser mud flaps The vehicle has been properly set up for **overlanding, touring, farm use, off-road travel or long-distance expeditions**. The combination of the 80 Series platform, large tyres, snorkel, winch, roof rack, auxiliary lighting and recovery equipment means much of the expensive preparation work has already been done. It presents exactly as an 80 Series should: **purposeful rather than over-restored**. There are age-appropriate cosmetic marks from use, but the vehicle has tremendous presence and retains the classic character that makes these Cruisers so desirable. The **4.5 petrol** is particularly well suited to buyers looking for the smoothness and power of Toyota's large-capacity straight-six petrol engine without the complexity associated with modern 4x4s. This is not a modern SUV dressed up to look adventurous — it is a genuine **Land Cruiser 80 Series**, built during an era when Toyota engineered these vehicles primarily for durability, reliability and serious off-road use. A fantastic base for an **overland build, collector 80 Series, weekend adventure vehicle or long-distance African touring vehicle**. **Serious enquiries welcome.**
