LJ78 RHD Landcruiser Prado For Sale

[Rob Voerman]

Hi There

i have had this car for 4 years and its been on Jacks for the last 13 months, Cylinder head gone.

We are in France, Vendee so will need a transporter or HD trailer to take back to UK

Make me an Offer, Mail me rob(at)voerman.co.uk, if it goes to someone in club you could use my garage to repair, might do a couple of Braai's

I have stripped the top off and then got to busy to carry on as I had a company car and we have a 100 series so there was no urgency to get it done. sad... but now things have changed and I need to move the car.

It is a 1996 UK registered car on a SORN
It is the 3.0 kzte and automatic,
has a new ipod radio
4 x Brand new 31" khumo muds
2 x new Batteries
brand new windscreen fitted while in Garage

before the head went it was perfect, every thing worked and I loved driving it,

Before the head went,

EDIT... sorry all, mistake "4 x Brand new 31" khumo muds", they are Hankook Dynapro MT

Thats a KZJ78 not an LJ78, definitely worth advertising as the correct type.

Thats a sweet looking truck. If I get this Hilux of mine shifted in time I may make you an offer on that

Hi Guys,

thanks for the responce and posts,

she is currently under offer from a fellow member and I think she will go to a good home.

Hi All, she is back on again,

I will not accept less than £ 1000.00 for her,i will let the add run another week and if not sold will get my lazy asse to repair and use

As discussed with fellow member its not a car to repair and shift, unless you fit a cheap chinese head and take shortcuts,

The car did not stop running, I stopped a home and when I closed the garage heard a gurgling sound, I stripped it there and then and never got further, it has not moved from there.

The idea was I would get the parts as I came to the UK but it seemed like I was flying in more than driving and always at short notice... so the repair was just delayed time and again,

For me I was going to replace the Radiator, pipes, water-pump, recon the Turbo and Alternator, while it all out, replace head with AMC (must measure the Valve length) spoke to a chap from AMC and he said there are two heads and only way to tell is measure the Valve length.
And lastly look at fitting a inter-cooler.

so add that up and you could buy a cruiser from Ebay for the same value but like mine, you do not know how long it would go and you end up spending a wack of money more.

thanks again to those that have been patient, this time its first one to pay deposit.
