For Sale:
Landcruiser Colorado VX Auto. 1997R 3.0 td 5 door 8 seater.
Mother and son owned from new.
148k miles
Fresh MOT.
Very original condition - still has original pinstripes/stickers etc. Prev owner confirmed it had never had any paintwork done. This is a proper original truck.
Body very good - few small marks here and there, would benefit from bumper corners doing and wheels refurbed.
Interior very good for age. Drivers seat could do with some recolouring, remainder of seats superb.
Plastics such as rear of centre console scuffed from kids shoes etc but they may well come up ok.
Carpets superb.
Dry inside!
Electrically, from what I can tell, everything works, heated seats, rear heater, sunroof, original aerial etc.
No aircon.
Came to me after being laid up for a year or so.
MOT'd a month ago with no advisories.
Work done:-
Discs, pads all round, new retaining clips and pins, handbrake overhauled and shoes replaced, one new caliper.
Drop links
Diff breather unblocked and checked.
Full front to back exhaust and hangers.
Full service.
Cambelt and tensioner change.
Brake fluid changed.
Coolant flushed and refreshed.
Has 4 good tyres.
Had slight injector seal leak on no.4 so all seals and fuel rail seals done, along with throttle body gasket.
Two keys.
Has alarm although not working. Needs a couple of the plastics sorting - fusebox lid, seat mounting covers etc although they are all there.
As I said, no history, I know it had some but prev owner is incommunicado (aren't they all!?!?!).
Would make a superb everydayer or a blank canvas for someone.
Regretfully for sale to raise funds (and avoid marital incident!!) due to purchase of works van which has just been diagnosed as needing £2k engine repair.
I have loads and loads of pics of her, here is a taster:
Open to sensible offers.
