The vehicle´s electrical system is 24 volts. The clutch is smooth and all gears shift smoothly. The disc brakes have been replaced with larger calipers from a later model Land Cruiser HDJ80 to function properly with the larger wheels.

The vehicle handles well and the suspension is in good condition. The factory matting for the hood is missing.

Overall, excellent condition and the engine sounds like it just left the factory.

TEST DRIVE

Road test with maximum speed of 60kph. The HDJ80 VX drives well, with excellent low range power and good acceleration in lower 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. Sparco seats minimize driving fatigue with added support.

All gears shift smoothly and good handling with a smooth suspension. The motor sounds incredible and the turbo is in excellent condition. 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.

Overall, a powerful beast that is nimble and virtually unstoppable. A unique vehicle that is a pleasure to drive.
