Two owners from new for this Land Cruiser HZJ73, current owner since 2000.  Originally purchased at Blandy Toyota on Tenerife.  Freshly painted in 2018.  Original motor, driveline and interior.  It has been well maintained by professional mechanics.  Overall the vehicle is very clean.  Never in an accident nor any noticeable damage to the body or chassis.  The body is clean without rust and has a new steel windshield.

The Land Cruiser only has 163,850 kms since new.  The motor was serviced in 2017 with new seals, head gasket, and new piston rings.  The HZJ73 is used for finca work and rarely leaves the village.  The owner has other vehicles for highway use.  It is mainly used with a trailer.

Clean and mostly original, in okay condition.  The HZJ73 interior color is light grey with Land Cruiser embroidered grey vinyl seats.  Seats for five with fold down rear bench seats,  Pioneer CD radio, and tilting steering wheel.  The dash is complete with all the buttons and controls working properly and shows minor wear and one small crack.  The headliner is intact and clean.  The door cards were replaced with a newer model Land Cruiser ones.  Replaced carpet with a cleaner second hand one in grey.  The clutch pedal is missing the rubber cover.  The shifter knob is also worn and the 4WD shifter knob was replaced with one from a different model.

The front seats are heavily worn and do not offer good support and show many tears.  The rear seats are clean and in good condition.  Non smoking.  All electronics work properly.  Heater is hot.

The steering wheel has been covered and looks worn but undamaged.  The driver side window is slow and heavy, passenger window works properly.  The driver and passenger door handles have free play but function correctly.  Sliding rear windows in good condition, function and lock properly.

Road test with maximum speed of 80kph.  TheHZJ73 drives well, with excellent 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.

All gears shift smoothly but the shifter feels loose when not in gear.  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 with very short first and second gear and impressive higher gear power.  A unique vehicle that is a pleasure to drive.
