Finally got them to upload correctly! it's been a while since i've used a image hosting service, lots more options now.
So here she is, i've named her "Goldie", much to the mrs dismay, shes a lil jealous that i've been spending quite a bit of time on the 4by and not her.
It's a genuine 40th anniversary model, there's quite a bit of speculation in regards to this limited edition model, from the research and ppl i've spoken with they all seem to be similar spec, in australia anyway.
Exert from LC80 series Wiki
- 1997 – 4744 FZJ80 Land Cruisers were sold in the United States as "40th Anniversary Limited Edition" models. They were available in 2 colours; Antique Sage Pearl (often referred to as Riverrock, Pewter, or Grey) and Emerald Green. The 40th Anniversary models included apron badges, a serial number badge on the centre console, black pearl exterior badges, "40th Anniversary Limited Edition" embroidered floor mats, automatic climate control, two-tone tan and brown leather interiors, and wheels with the "D" windows painted dark gray. Many were manufactured with the optional electric front and rear locking differentials, keyless entry, port-installed roof racks, and running boards. There are some examples that did not have many of these extras. This is the last year for the electric locking front differentials.
So here in australia the 40th anniversary models were not quite as fancy as the american ones, i think we got the lower spec ones, bare in mind all the american ones were 1FZFE engines, where here both the diesel and petrol engine models were sold, the diesel being the premium model.
