This is a very rare 4.2-litre turbo-diesel short-wheelbase Land Cruiser with a manual transmission and right-hand drive. In fact, this is the first 4.2 Turbo short-wheelbase Cruiser we have ever encountered.
Finished in white and showing 169,000km, it presents very well and has all the old-school character that makes these 70 Series Cruisers so sought after. Short, purposeful and unmistakably Toyota, it is a proper classic 4×4 with serious presence.
Mechanically, it has received a new turbo and new injectors. It starts and runs perfectly and is ready to be enjoyed. Strong, simple and built with the famous Land Cruiser reliability in mind, this is the sort of usable Cruiser you can get in and drive.
The interior is new, along with a new roofliner, giving the cabin a clean and tidy appearance. The windows have been tinted, the wheels have been powder-coated and the bumper has been painted. These improvements have freshened the vehicle without taking away from its rugged 70 Series character.
All lights, gauges, wipers and windows are working as they should. The sunroof is not currently working.
Good short-wheelbase 70 Series Cruisers are becoming increasingly difficult to find, and the 4.2-litre turbo-diesel specification makes this one especially unusual. If you have been looking for a distinctive old-school Land Cruiser that presents well, starts easily and is ready to use, this deserves a closer look.
Paperwork in order.

★★★★★ - A True Sanctuary for Classic Car Enthusiasts
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Wat Swaai Jy and was absolutely blown away. This isn't just a dealership; it's a museum where every car tells a story. From impeccably restored muscle cars to perfectly preserved European grand tourers, their inventory is diverse and of the highest quality.
What truly sets them apart is the expertise and genuine passion of the staff, not only about the mechanics and history of the vehicles but also about the provenance and market value. There was zero pressure—just honest, excited discussion about classic cars.
If you're serious about finding a rare, high-quality classic, or just want to spend an afternoon admiring automotive history, Wat Swaai Jy is the definitive place to go. A truly world-class operation.
