Vehicle information
This page is a completed commission example, not an available vehicle listing. The emphasis is on the search brief, the verified condition, and the final delivery result.
Known history & disclosures
This HDJ80 was sourced as a client search commission from its original owner on Gran Canaria and delivered to California. It was garaged, documented at 264,442 km, and presented with the 1HD-FT turbodiesel, H151F five-speed manual gearbox, and factory triple differential locks.
ITV was current at the time of purchase. No recent service entry was supplied for this conversion. Known imperfections were limited to minor paint imperfections. Rust-free condition is supported by the inspection and photo set, and the owner’s manual was included.
The story
This HDJ80 is the kind of search result that explains why Canary Island Rover looks beyond obvious classifieds. The brief was not to find a modified overland build; it was to locate a clean, mechanically interesting European-market 80 Series with honest history and the right driveline.
The result was a one-owner, garaged Gran Canaria Land Cruiser with Toyota’s 1HD-FT 4.2-liter turbodiesel, the H151F five-speed manual transmission, full-time 4WD, and factory triple differential locks.
Commission value
The exterior presents as a white factory-bodied HDJ80 with minor paint imperfections rather than a restored or accessorized build. Inside, the gray cloth cabin keeps the original character, with the factory controls and owner’s manual included in the documentation set.
For this commission, the value was in verification: one-owner history, garaged island storage, documented kilometres, current ITV at purchase, photo-supported rust-free condition, and a final delivery path to California.
