80 series interest

[Safamark]

Hi @AndycruiserguyLomas, that’s a very nice ‘VX Limited’ you have there.

Here is a photo if that helps. It might be a 12v now, will have to confirm tomorrow or Sunday when I go to see it.

 

[Safamark]

I managed to get a picture of the engine, pretty sure the trained eye will notice that there is a belt missing ????

 

[Jake the Peg]

That’s for the air-conditioning

 

[AndycruiserguyLomas]

So its a 24V auto, probably a 95. Could be a really good thing, especially if most things work. Let us know how you've got on.

 

[Grimbo]

Looks like a non EGR version....that can only be a good thing

Where can I get one of those inlet pipes ....

 

[Safamark]

@AndycruiserguyLomas I am going to see it this coming weekend now, most likely to buy it.

@Grimbo your guess is as good as mines.

 

[Safamark]

Well there you have it folks. I bagged myself a Japanese imported TLC80 4.2TD 24v Snow Version, 200kms on the clock with a 2 inch lift. Overall 8.5/10 condition.

I’ve had it for a couple of weeks now, just had to get use to it. It also had to sink in that I now own a ‘80 Series’. Unreal.

I’m sure I will be back with a long list of questions

Thanks for everyone’s input

Regards,

Mark.

That’s a nice looking truck

Well done; Just goes to show that it's still possible

 

[Safamark]

Thanks @Chris and everyone els !

Well done; Just goes to show that it's still possible

..with a jap import...

200kkm is nothing for these cars, if maintained they should go 500kkm plus with no issues. The 80 I looked at when I was looking for a LC/Prado had 320kkm on it and still purred like a kitten.

 

[Higgy]

Cracking looking Truck Mate... Jap Import is certainly the way to go, to find a rust free Land Cruiser these days.. Post some more Pic's up when you get the chance

I wanted to go and have a look at that in Derby. Good to see it was a genuine sale and a good truck.

 

[SeaJay]

well done, thats a keeper. Has the timing belt just been changed? if not its due, not a big job but important to do

 

[StarCruiser]

Congratulations on your purchase. That certainly looks very nice indeed.

 

[kamaal hussain]

NO WAY! Thats my old cruiser, sold it in Derby somewhere some years ago! I always did think about it and tried buying it back but couldn't find the details of the buyer!!!

 

[madmanmart]

Congratulations on your 80

 

[Safamark]

@kamaal hussain NO WAY ! Sorry I’ve been absent from this forum for quite some time now. I’ve always wondered who the initial owner was that imported the car from Japan, I assume that was you? Would be great to speak to you. I’ve been working hard to keep it in good nick.

Thanks @madmanmart, much appreciated
