Toyota Land Cruiser, 1990, Raahe

🦌 The autumn hunting season has begun – and here’s a Land Cruiser for it!

Now available: an inspected, 3-seater Toyota Land Cruiser registered as a service vehicle with proper mud tyres. The autumn hunting season is already underway, so this would be a great choice for a hunter, cottage trips, off-road use, or just as a hobby vehicle.

As it is registered as a service vehicle, the car’s running costs are reasonable, making this a sensible option for hobby and hunting use as well.

The Land Cruiser is known for its durable 4x4 technology, and these older examples are no longer widely available. Good examples have been rising in value for years, and in Europe old Land Cruisers have long fetched rather high prices. So this is a car that has not only practical value, but also interesting future hobby potential.

Overall, the car is fairly tidy for its age. The body panels and frame are still in good condition. The red paint has faded in places over the years.

4.2-litre diesel – built to last

Under the bonnet is Toyota’s legendary 4.2-litre 1H-T diesel engine. These engines are especially known for durability and longevity, and there is plenty of torque even at low revs. That kind of low-end torque is ideal for off-road and hunting use, where progress is slow and at low speeds.

The engine runs smoothly and the car drives normally.

Recently serviced:

• Engine oil + filter

• Gearbox oil

• Front and rear differential oil

• Fuel filter

• Timing belt + tensioner

• Blower motor

Working equipment:

• 4x4 system works

• Front and rear axle locks work

• Central locking works

The axle locks were tested on gravel, and each tyre dug itself a proper hole – so this really does have genuine off-road capability when the road ends.

It is fitted with proper mud tyres, so forest roads, wet weather and softer terrain won’t immediately cause panic. Perfect for hunting use.

Observed faults and shortcomings

This is a car over 30 years old, so the buyer should note that there may also be hidden faults or other repairs needed that cannot be detected on a short test drive.

The following shortcomings were observed during a short test drive and inspection:

• Tailgate does not open from the handle

• Left rear window regulator does not work

• Radio missing

• Handbrake is weak

• Hole in driver’s door panel

• Hole in driver’s seat

The above faults and shortcomings have been listed as honestly as possible in the advert. This is a used car over 30 years old, so the buyer should be prepared for additional age- and use-related wear or repairs that were not noticed on the test drive.

If you have been looking for a Land Cruiser for hunting, hobby use or simply a proper 4x4, here is one on offer. 3-seater service vehicle, reasonable running costs, the legendary 4.2-litre diesel, working 4x4 system and working central locking make for a very interesting package.

You don’t see these on every corner anymore.

Here’s a car for autumn hunting trips and at the same time a piece of Land Cruiser history to keep. 🦌
