I just bought a Landcruiser.....I've always wanted one but they were out of reach financially speaking which is why I've always stuck with SJ's.
It had been parked in a garage for two years and the owner started to build an extension and needed the space so moved it to a friends yard. That's where I saw it and after some enquiries tracked him down, he said make me an offer and excepted the first one, wish I had started lower! Anyway I still think it was a bargain as I paid £100 for it and after looking around it there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it, one of the doors has a bit of rust at the bottom and the rear passenger panel is going around the wheel arch. All the electrics work as do all the lights, it doesn't overheat and smokes less than my Audi!! Its a real state on the inside but it just dirty not damaged and I found a £50 Chubb padlock under the drivers seat with 2 keys! Having had a good chat with him when I picked it up it turns out that it had a refurbed turbo about 6 months before he bought his new 4x4 and he rebuilt the engine about 3 years ago.
I'm going to use it for the Staples 2 Naples rally in September and then bring it back and turn it into an offroader.....
