The Story
Imported from Honduras to the US in 2017 by second owner that drove it less than 300 miles. I purchased it in stock condition in April of 2021 from 2nd owner. The original owner was a Doctor in Honduras. I average between 18-21mpg (75mph-60mph)fully loaded with all my overland gear, empty on smaller tires I saw as high as 27mpg! The second owner installed a new pressure plate, timing belt, and water pump at approximately 160,000 miles at which time I purchased the. He provided no documentation of the work performed but by visual inspection and strong performance of the clutch I have not doubted this to be true. I drove the Trans-America Trail from the Oregon coast to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina all offroad in this Landcruiser and it performed flawlessly for 28 days and 5800 miles in the Fall of 2021. I have also navigated 400 miles of the Baja 1000 course and then the entire Baja of Mexico twice in the winter of 2022. Most Recently just got back from a 1000 mile trip to Overland EXPO PNW where we managed 18.5 mpg with two passengers and all our gear.
Very rare spec Landcruiser to come by in this country. It shares enough common parts with the US spec trucks or wide availability of parts from Saudi Arabia that it is easy to maintain and keep on the road. Selling because I have been on the road for 10 years now with numerous different vehicles (this one being my favorite by far) and the time has come I'm moving back to the Caribbean.
CHEERS!

I don’t know much about these compared to my US 80 but this thing is cool!!
GLWS
 
3 or 4 have been on BaT within the last year-ish, all for half the price.
 
Well, BaT is an auction site, so no one lists the price. I get alerts for every single 80 that pops up on BaT so I know you are incorrect. But do tell. Please share "3 or 4" on BaT in the last year that are turbo diesel AND LHD. I'll bet bragging rights you can't find a single example. :rolleyes:

This gentleman's example is a unicorn and an exceptionally well modified and taken care of rig on top of it. I wish him the best with the sale.

Thanks for the kind words and knowledge
 
All those prices tell me is that BAT is not the place to sell something like this rig. Most of those examples have extensively more miles are were flips from dealerships that imported them a few months prior. I will agree that it is incredibly rare to have south American trucks clean as this, but you're staring at the proof lol. Cheers
 
What's the reason the second owner only put 300 miles on it from 2017 when it was imported to the US at 21 years old to when the third owner picked it up in 2021 when it was 25 years old?
