I will request some. Thanks

one other thing I wanted to ask, this is a manual whereas most others I’ve seen have been auto boxes. Are there any differences in terms of reliability and is the clutch manageable for somebody who is quite light built - ie my wife? Cheers

The MOT history mentioned a corroded centre box so perhaps they just fancied two tailpipes when they replaced it. Could it be an issue?

I noticed that too. Can’t think of a reason!

Hi all. Search went a bit cool then was reinvigorated by a work trip to Kenya where everybody was driving LCs of various vintages! Barely a LR to be seen! Just wondered if ther group had any thoughts on this 120 that has just been listed. A few corrosion issues listed on the MOT a few years’...

Yes, ideally LHD. But thanks for sharing @Raj Looks great, but a lot of money!

Just wondering what model this one is? Same year as the 120 I was looking at, but this is a different shape with a bigger Diesel engine. Were older models being sold at the same time? Check out this Toyota Landcruiser Amazon that I have just found on #motorscouk - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Thanks @Raj what LC do you have? I get very easily obsessed!

Nice video! The original rationale was to have a car that could get a family of four and a dog to Sweden for the summer each year in relative comfort and have some adventures along the way. And maybe at some point in the future tow a small boat. And then I started to think about the old 70s RR I...

Reading lots more of the posts on here and while a 120 is probably the more suitable vehicle for what I need, I have to say the 80s do look cooler, especially when set up for overlanding. A 120 with a snorkel doesn’t look quite right! Does anybody think the 120 will ever be considered a modern...

Looks pretty funky. Had a quick look online and they seem pretty pricey.

Thanks a lot Jacob. As per advice from another member I did have a look on some Spanish websites. Prices and mileages even higher! What was just a kernel of an idea is now turning into a bit of obsession. I’m blaming the forum!

Everything is expensive in Sweden! Especially labour!

Found this beast in Sweden! Blocket - Sveriges största marknadsplats, bilar, bostäder, möbler m.m. - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Thanks Dave and Andy. So that’s a pretty empathic no for the 80 then! Just having these chats I was starting to get the buzz I used to have when I owned the 74 safari RR. It was always breaking down (once blew a rad hose in the middle of nowhere by the Masai Mara) but I could generally fix it...
