Renowned for its rugged looks, indomitable off-road performance and surprising on-road refinement, Toyota’s J60-series 4x4 has proven to be a high watermark for the ‘Land Cruiser’ nameplate. Hailing from Japan in early 2024, this example presents in excellent condition and boasts a desirable, rare and extremely high specification being a 1990 VX Sahara; the latest, highest specified model available from Japan.
Equipped with the venerable ‘12HT’ 4.0 turbo-diesel six-cylinder engine from the ‘HJ61’ model, which is often regarded as one of the most reliable Land Cruiser variants ever made. 130BHP provides faithful progress through a sturdy four-speed automatic gearbox, whilst the high specification ensures power can be delivered through electronically switchable four-wheel-drive. Off-road performance is bolstered by leaf-sprung live axles; the last generation of Land Cruiser to be equipped so.
Other differentiating factors over lower specified or early cars include the quad-headlamp nosecone, split-folding tailgate, higher roofline and air conditioning. This example features period-correct modifications enhancing the Land Cruiser’s purposeful looks, including colour-matched split-rim wheels, a PTO style extended front bumper with bull bars and raised suspension.
Having been UK registered in June 2024, this desirable, beautifully specced, top-specification turbo-diesel Land Cruiser is ready to be enjoyed both on and off road under new ownership.
First delivered to the Japanese market in 1990, this example landed on UK shores at the start of 2024, having been purchased by the current owner in October 2023. It was subsequently registered in April 2024 and assigned a build-date correct ‘G’ registration from the DVLA. It carries a valid MOT to June 2025 and presents in collector condition.
Additional features:
The vehicle is identified by VIN HJ60. This example has been upgraded to the highest specification of the Toyota Land Cruiser 60 Series VX, featuring the 12H-T 4.0L turbo-diesel engine and a fully automatic 4-speed transmission. The suspension was also slightly raised.
