Very Rare 1998 Toyota Landcruiser HZJ75 4WD Pickup Truck, guaranteed just 58k miles

Here is a 1998 Toyota Landcruiser HZJ75 4.2 Turbo Diesel Pickup. It is very rare being one of a handful that were officially imported by Toyota into the UK making them very sought after. Well known as the ultimate remote area off road vehicle being mechanically very simple and reliable these vehicles have a first class reputation in Australia, Africa and other parts of the world for taking harsh conditions in their stride

This one was first registered in the UK as new on 1st September 1998 and i am its third owner.

Its first owner used it to tow an flash exhibition trailer to and from shows. It can officially tow a 3500kg trailer at the same time carrying 1000kg on the back. The turbo was fitted at a cost of £2800 by the same official Toyota agent to the 1HZ engine.

Serviced every year whatever the miles and I can guarantee that it has done just over 58000 miles, and all of these on UK roads. A new timing belt fitted on its 55k service. It has the 4.2 1HZ engine and these engines often do in exess of 500k miles so its hardly run in. The HZJ75 has the indestructible H55F 5 speed gearbox.

Most other 75 series in the UK are imported from Australia with many having hidden pasts of being mine trucks having very hard lives. Mine trucks are not registered when new so when they are sold on the open market they often have a registration date that is several year after they were made.

This is a genuine UK registered truck with no hidden past whatsoever, and you certainly will not find a better one.

I purchased it in October 2010 with the idea to convert it to a camper but my plans have changed. I have had an ARB winch bumper with a Warn 9000 winch, plus a snorkel fitted. The load area was ply lined from new.

All in all a great truck and certainly one of the best and lowest mileage ones in the UK.

Has its original registration number of S98 TAV.

Any questions feel free to ask

£11000.00 o.n.o (No VAT to pay)

Sure would be nice to have a Land Cruiser pickup!

Vehicles like the HZJ75 that were never imported into USA and are less than 25 years old must be modified to meet USA safety and emissions standards. This is an expensive process that is usually carried out by a registered car importer. I think the Customs folks give you six months to meet the standards. After that, the vehicle can be seized and destroyed.

It could come to Canada pretty soon though. So far vehicles older than 15 years (from date of manufacture) are admissible here.

$17000 is a pretty fair price if it is what it appears to be. It must have been one of the last HZJ75s made. Toyota introduced the HZJ79 in the same year.
