I really enjoy your relaxed style of videos! Must be the relaxed SA vibe!. Ironically I am trying to decide between a Land cruiser and W123 as a daily driver. I have never worked on cars before so that is holding me back from purchasing the W123. I thhink LC may require less maintenance. How much maintenance would a low miles (100k km) W123 require if most issues sorted?
Thank you! My apologies for the delay in replying, year end! To answer your question, from the point of view of durability, ease of maintenance and availability of spares, there’s nothing in it. So it comes down to what you’re wanting to use it for, your budget and how important fuel consumption is to you.
Reminds me of my old 1999 Toyota Hilux, Toyota didn't fuss with interiors back then, everything looked the same. I bet the range is closer to 900km or slightly more. These are bulletproof
1997 and still a carb.... shame on toyota for selling the crap nobody wanted in SA, while the rest of the WORLD got the Efi versions even from earlier models.... and at the current fuel price, this will cost around R4 PER KILO! ! thats madness !
Today I learned you have a RUclips. Been following on Facebook for at least 10 years. New subscriber
Thank you! It’s great to see you here!
Nice Land Cruiser 🔥a good old classic beast is a winner 🔥

130 at 18 to 20L per 100km? Around 600km on a tank.
The Nomad had a 2.5 litre 4 cyl Chev motor , same as the Eland armoured car
Yes, and based on the “iron duke”. I had a Nomad. It reminded me of it because of similar low end performance.
Was it sold with a catalyst in SA? How does the carb version perform with the Diesel?
No it didn’t have a catalyst. The diesels are a lot lighter on fuel.

The carbs don’t give hassles. Depends what you’re looking for I guess. The VX versions were EFI
