Hi Folks,
I’m humming and haa’ing about getting one of these beautiful beasts. On my numerous web searches I came across this very informative (and seemingly somewhat friendly) gem of a forum. So hopefully I can become part of the family here too (just need to buy a Land Cruiser first).
So here I am at 2:15 am scrolling through all these adds and nothing seems to pop up. I guess the biggest problem I have is my measly budget and I know for £5/6k I’m not going to get much but rust
Never to be one to let that stop me I have an idea of what I’m looking for, maybe you can tell me the pitfalls of my wish list.
I was thinking on a 100 series, 4.2TD, 5speed auto, hopefully less than 200k and as little rust as possible.
Am I dreaming that I’d ever get anything like that for my money?
This won’t be an over lander, rock crawler or anything special. It will simply be my daily in the winter months and help me get in and out of the valley during harsh weather.
So what do you think? Am I lost in the dream world forever? Should I be thinking of another car?
Watching all these videos of Landcruisers and all these people loving them has really made my heart want one. As for the head, well I’m not sure where it is with it but I know I want one
sorry for the long ramble
Cheers
