MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION

2LT 2.5L inline 4 cylinder turbo diesel motor mated to a 5 speed manual transmission.  Electronic locking wheels hubs with 4WD and two speed transfer case.  Solid axles in front and rear.

INTERIOR

Pristine original interior.  Vulnerable areas, such as the seats and dash, have been covered over the years.   The  interior color is light grey with grey cloth seats.  Seats for five with fold down rear bench seats, original radio, and tilting steering wheel.  The dash is complete with all the buttons and controls working properly and shows minimal wear.  The headliner is intact and clean.
The door cards are without wear.  Original carpet is clean without marks or stains.  The wear on the pedals is consistent with its use.  The shifter knob is like new.   All badges are unmarred,
The front seats are comfortable and show minor wear.  The rear seats are clean and appear unused based on the condition of the seatbelts. The steering wheel is original and in good condition.  All electronics work properly.  Heater is hot.  Non smoking.

EXTERIOR

Repainted in white in 2000.  There are minor imperfections in the paintwork, such as drips.  The paint is okay but lower in quality than factory paint.  The driver side running boards shows minor damage.  Bumper corners shows minor damage, as well. 
There is rust near the passenger door hinge, a hole.  The owner was unaware of this rust and the paint was intact covering the oxidation until it was removed to reveal the extent during my testing.  There is an area of oxidation on the front bumper and three small areas on the roof.  The front doors are in okay condition and the driver door shows oxidation in the corners. 
The body lines are straight and all doors shut properly.  Keys and locks function correctly.  The chassis is clean and does not shows signs of damage or abuse.  Wipers and water sprayer function properly.  Tires are new Goodyear Wranglers.  Overall well kept.

TEST DRIVE

Road test with maximum speed of 70kph.
The LJ70 drives well, with good low range power and good acceleration in higher gears.  The Land Cruiser passes the “hands off” test, traveling smoothly in a straight line for a distance.
The ride as a passenger is comfortable.  The sight lines for the driver are clean.  The driver position is comfortable with ample space.  The relative compact size of the vehicle makes for easy maneuvering.
All gears shift smoothly and brakes are firm.  Good power in all gears in low range.  The motor, transmission and suspension performs well and did not exhibit bad vibrations or noise.
Drives well, handles fine, comfortable suspension and good brakes.
This Toyota Land Cruiser LJ70 like all Canary Island Rover vehicles, features the steering wheel on the left side like in North America and Mainland Europe.
