This Toyota HJ61 Land Cruiser VX is a desirable and eminently capable modern classic Japanese 4x4, which has been enhanced with a few choice upgrades. Under the bonnet sits a turbocharged 4.0-litre ‘12H-T’ diesel inline-six, delivering around 100kW to all four wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. This example was originally a Japan-delivered model, which has since been imported to Australia, where it has been with the seller for four years. The odometer shows 316,274 Kms from new. This HJ61 Land Cruiser VX is finished in the tasteful shade of Warm Grey Metallic over a brown and beige velour cloth-trimmed interior, featuring satin-gunmetal dashboard trim, and chrome accents. It rides on an aftermarket set of 15-inch five-spoke alloy wheels finished in satin-black and fitted with Kumho Road Venture tyres. Equipment includes a heated rear screen, a top-tinted windscreen, electric windows, a high and low range gearbox, a glass sunroof, a headlining-mounted thermometer and altimeter, air conditioning, and electrically adjustable driver’s seat lumbar support. This example has been upgraded with Old Man Emu suspension, a Safari snorkel, a Nardi Torino wood-rimmed steering wheel, tinted windows, a Kenwood CD stereo with Bluetooth connectivity, USB and auxiliary inputs, and Pioneer speakers. The car comes with the registration papers, a certificate of exemption to bear an identification plate, and a few maintenance and parts invoices.
