The enthusiast-owned example has been tastefully modified with later VDJ79 front-end panels to mimic the look of the 2022 70th Anniversary models.

Specific notes from the seller include: The paintwork still presents smartly after being repainted two years ago but there are some small dents which are said to be hard to notice. Inside, a separate horn switch has been added due to the fitment of a modern Toyota steering wheel. The seller is not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults. The vehicle underwent an inspection test one year ago which resulted in an advisory regarding the brakes. The braking system is said to have subsequently been overhauled. The last maintenance was in April 2022 at 211,151 Km by a qualified mechanic. This included the fitment of the following new parts: wheel bearings, swivel hubs, front and rear brakes, filters, a large aftermarket alloy radiator and an air conditioning condenser and compressor. Engine oil, differential oil, transmission fluid and coolant were all changed at this juncture. The seller informs that a new timing belt and a water pump were professionally fitted during their two-year ownership, with a supporting invoice on file.
