Toyota Land Cruiser
Having come back from Libya where I had to push the 300tdi to its absolute limit, am considering going down the Land Cruiser route. You have to cosset a Land Rover, and there was no time for it in the dunes and it seems unfair to have to be so brutal to it. So I fear she's got to go.
The top end speed, low down torque and build quality of the Land Cruiser beckon despite my fondness for the 110.
Have read Chris's chapter on Land Cruisers and see that the 80 series is recommended.
Can anyone recommend a source where I might find out more about the models on offer in the UK.
Is the 3 litre Turbo diesel comparitively gutless? I'm thinking that perhaps I'm best off with the classic straight six with an LPG conversion to get me down through Europe? Any thoughts?
