Jap import, model year 92, three diff lockers. She has been really well cared for under my ownership and according to what I saw I think she was not neglected before. She has 286 kkm on the clock and we have driven 105 kkm from Nov 2009 till now without a problem.
The works and mods done:
- ACL big end bearings @ 190 kkm
- OME springs and shocks (medium rate springs)
- BFG AT 285/75/16 (fitted June 2010) now still have enough thread to travel safely, no serious damages so far (one puncture), new steel rims. Reserve is still unused, bought August 2012.
- serviced front axle
- new CVs, HCB (Oct 2012)
- upgraded drive flanges to newer model (thicker, more durable), original Toyota.
- extended diff breathers
- reconditioned front and rear brake calipers
- additional 90L fuel tank
- EGT gauge
- Motor oil and ATF temp gauges.
- Timing belt etc done @ 200 kkm
- Injection pump resealed, ACSD removed, injectors checked.
- Valve clearances adjusted @ 210 kkm
- New water pump (original Toyota) installed (May 2011).
- All the little things done (new thermostat, belts, front pads ... original Toyota items)
- Regular servicing (Motor oil @ 10 kkm, ATF @ 15-20 kkm)
The car has at the time of this writing absolutely no mechanical problem at all. It is prepared to just sit in it and drive anywhere. According to my experiences it is far more preserved than average. Outside few minor paint scratches, but no critical rust anywhere.
With car come usual spare parts that are useful to have on overland trip, among others a set of new Koni wheel bearings, set of cardan UJs, belts, front axle o-rings, a fuel filter and some other minor things.
We are regularly testing it on overland trips with much joy and success. Some quick reports on Land Cruiser owners' club forum:

The vehicle will be available in Burkina Faso in April 2013. It is also possible to arrange to sell the vehicle at some other location if preferred.
The price?
I'm asking for £10000 for the completely equipped, exceptionally preserved and maintained car that has proved itself reliable on many trips.
