I’m trying to help my best mate find a cruiser. He’s wanting a diesel 80, manual with an FT. I’d do the ground work myself but it’s a bit hard being 12k miles away...
There’s a couple on eBay, one out of his price range, the other is a potential 1995 Toyota LAND CRUISER AMAZON 4.2, 24V GS **Only 2 Owners With 103067 Miles an | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]
My first question is - seeing as a few of you a immersed in the UK 80 scene which I imagine is quite exclusive - does anyone know of this vehicle or are you able to check any sort of records for it? It’s a little over budget - he’s planning on offering up to 10k for it, how does this sound? I’ll write him a list of questions to ask and check when inspecting/driving it, and gave a few ideas of where to check for rust but otherwise I’ll have to leave the decision to him. He’s not a mechanic, but can talk like he is!
Second question - does anyone know of a good (not pristine) candidate for sale? He’s currently in London, about to move to Cornwall but will travel for the right vehicle.
Thanks for any help!
