1980 Toyota Land Cruiser Description

1985 Toyota Land Cruiser Troopy BJ 75 - LHD - Diesel + Turbo + Intercooler - Full Expedition Conversion
Its a 1985 not 1980 as listed, because of the European Vin.
386.000 km/240.000 miles
Left Hand Drive, European Import with US - South Dakota title and current registration
The Troopy is considered worldwide to be the the best expedition machine on the planet.
I purchased this amazing vehicle from its German owner in September 2018 in Mexico, Puerto Vallarta.
I drove it to the US with no issues. He had it shipped from Germany and traveled through Northern, Central and South America before settling in Mexico.
It has performed magnifically from Mexico to the deserts, I was able to enjoy and get to know it on different conditions and on all roads, highways, mountain passes and beautiful paths to off beaten beaches.
Everything is extremely well designed and functional, built, equipped and geared for short and longjourneys, literally the ultimate expedition camper.
2018 to 2019Since purchasing it I have invested $$$$ to fine tune and upgrade it. I have all receipts.
Unfortunately, sadly I have to let it go.my email photografree@gmail.com

The info below is from the previous owner's listing, at the time I purchased it.

"I have owned the car since 2004, previous owner was a German car master mechanic who always looked after the car meticulously.
Info about the vehicle:
3 B Diesel engine (3.5 l, 4 cylinder)
This is a nearly unbreakable engine with a spur gear system and has no timing belt like the 1 HZ engine. This means less maintenance and less risk of damage to the engine.

Engine runs very smooth, like the transmission - HF 55 – 5 Speed
