    New car incoming v8

    Hi all. Picked this land cruiser v8 up today. Went to London to collect it. Stuck on the m1 coming back for 3 hours due to it being shut.
    Anyway I’m really happy with it so far. So smooth and powerful. Feels like a tank So well built. Solid. Here’s some pics.

    200 series LC - lovely piece of kit.

    Add : I was going to recommend joining the Landcruiser Club (landcruiserclub.net) but see that you're already a member!

    Friend has a v8 they’re a beast. Should be a good car, they normally are.
    Started out with nothing. Still have most of it left.

    Very nice. A beast of a vehicle. They don’t make them like that any more and I doubt they ever will!!!

    Great. The last car you'll need to buy.

    Sadly this behemoth is / was not on the Dutch market, so it's 'hen's teeth' when you try to buy a V8 LHD version.

    Cheers guys. It’s a tank of a car. The doors feel bank vault doors as you shut them
    For a 12 y old car it drives like new. Not a squeak or a rattle.
    Very quiet when doing 70 mph at 1500 revs on the motor way

    What's the mileage (not that it matters...). A befriended radiator workshop produces metal expansion tanks & upgraded radiators for these cars. The original plastic tank is about the only 'iffy' part on the car: age has an influence on the plastic of the original tank. It can become brittle. Fair chance that your car already has been 'upgraded'.

    That’s certainly a beast! Always fancied one of these but always thought they’d be a bit on the thirsty side for me.

    Enjoy 😊

    Absolutely bullet-proof cars.

    I bought this one from a guy (who'd driven it down to S Africa and back) and then sold it to someone who literally drove it around the world. Last I heard it was over 300,000 miles and still going.

    Brilliant! Looks a nice one and I'm sure it'll rack up plenty more miles no problem whatsoever.
