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.

The underbody of the HZJ73 was also treated for minor oxidation and painted black in 2018.  The chassis is clean and does not shows signs of damage or abuse.  The FRP fiberglass removable rooftop was repainted in white in 2018 and does not show any damage.   The front doors are in okay condition and the rear doors in good condition.  The roll bars are clean and repainted.  Chrome running boards for entry access.  Wipers and water sprayer function properly.  Tires in okay condition with less than 50% use.  Overall well kept.

TEST DRIVE

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.
