Newbie looking for some LC 70 leads..

[nids]

Hi all,

Thought I'd reach out and tap the forums for some help. Am looking to buy a Land Cruiser (LC 70 LX V6 4.0 petrol hard top five door). I live in Africa and in my country of residence Toyota doesn't sell this wagon. Whenever I Google it there are a few good options that come up on Alibaba.com

I'd rather buy direct from a dealer and have it shipped over to Africa. Anyone out there know of a reputable Toyota dealer who stocks the LX 10 and caters to international clients?

Thanks in advance!

hi Nids - which Africa country are you in. There are a few companies like Van Vliet, Bukkehave, motorplus that all have offices in africa and their sole purpose is sourcing these types of vehicles.

If you want to source from one of the middle east dealers you can send me an email at kenn.walker@armored-cars.com and I can put you into contact with my supplier of soft skin RHD and LHD TLC 70 series.

here in the ME we call that version the LC76

Hello again,

Thanks to xkennx for putting me in contact with some potential companies that sell the LC76. Unfortunately most of them are based in the GCC (Gulf) countries and the only LC 76 wagon models they have come in an oak fabric interior and I'm looking for the grey vinyl interior option. Still looking for a company that sells and ships to Nigeria. Specifically looking for a LC 76 petrol hard top wagon with left hand drive.. I've spoken to a couple of Toyota dealers in other countries but they say they are not allowed to export to this country because we have a registered Toyota dealer. When I went to the local dealer they said they will not order the LC 76 because it's not part of their model lineup.

Again, any links to companies that source the new 70 series Land Cruisers and who are not based in the Gulf countries would be well received! : )

"When I went to the local dealer they said they will not order the LC 76 because it's not part of their model lineup." ....... Nice to know the Toyota dealers in Africa have the same "can do" attitude as the ones in the U.S.
Its either a $70,000 gas guzzling behemoth Land Cruiser or nothing.

Hi all,

Thought I'd re-hash this question as I still have not been able to source the vehicle. Again, am looking for a new Land Cruiser 70 five door Wagon with petrol engine and grey interior.

All the sellers I've found to date either have it as Diesel with grey interior or Petrol with brown interior.

Thanks..

Hey NIDS,

Hehehe you wont belive this but last month I actually got a Maroon TLC76 and a Dark Grey TLC76 with grey interior. First time I have ever seen the colors on the 76 in the ME. Of course now they are sand camo and off to a desert country after being armored.

Not sure if he can help but send an email to Alun at ProForce in Nigeria. He is a friend from back in Iraq and now runs and armored car company there. I know for a fact he is now armoring 70 chassis himself. He might if you ask nicely tell you where he is getting his.

hope that helps.

Xkennx, good to know! Will certainly try and contact Alun (no luck with Motorplus, Bukkehave or Van Vliet). Hope all is well on your end. Am actually planning an overlanding trip to Namib this Christmas and depending on which company I rent a 4x4 from may end up driving an LC70 of sorts : ) Eventually if I own one I'll modify it for use as a personal annual overlanding vehicle (Africa). Either that or just go with the Entdecker and get it done with ; )

fj4ever84, looks good. The first one is the troopie; not the one I'm searching for but the second one is the right one although based on the interior i'd say it has the older I6 not V6 engine? Also, if you could provide a link that would be great so I can verify if the pictures are of the diesel model, which I think may be the case.

Cheers..

Nids, your right that 76 in the pictures are the older 2010 model, the 2011 and 2012 has the newer plastic dashboard.

Send me a message at kenn.walker(at)armored-cars.com I have one more contact that I can send you. Its the Oman dealer for export only. If you purchase from them you have to have all payments completed first then you will have to handle shipping yourself. But I will warn you I have not seen the 76 petrol with grey interior - everything I have seen in the petrol is the beige now.

Thanks xkennx, sent you an e-mail.
