1993 Toyota Land Cruiser Prado (LJ78W) — Green/Silver

First registered in March 1993, this Land Cruiser Prado has covered 203,708 km, and the two-tone green over silver paint is the scheme most people picture when they think of the LJ78W. It's the five-door body, right-hand drive, with the 2L-TE under the bonnet: Toyota's 2.4-litre turbocharged diesel inline-four, 2400cc, driving all four wheels through an automatic gearbox.

Repair history: None recorded.

Two hundred thousand kilometres sounds like a lot until you divide it by thirty-three years, at which point it's a little over 6,000 km a year. Diesel Prados of this generation were bought to be worked, so a figure like that points to light duty. The automatic makes it an easier daily proposition than a manual truck, and the diesel is the engine most export buyers ask about first, mainly for the range it gives on a long run.

Five doors, proper 4WD, a turbo diesel that's older than some of the people who'll enquire about it. That's the car.
