Bramall Toyota of Plymouth, finished in Flame Red with a grey cloth interior Powered by Toyota’s proven 2.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine driving all four wheels through a 5-speed manual gearbox, renowned for its reliability and off-road capability Now showing a modest 72,599 miles, covered over the years by five former keepers, suggesting careful private use rather than a hard commercial life Largely in original specification, retaining its factory trim, wheels and switchgear, and benefiting from a lined load bed with matching cover Accompanied by its original book pack and stamped service book, providing evidence of conscientious maintenance throughout its life Increasingly appreciated as a modern classic, the Hilux combines period charm with legendary dependability — a rare opportunity to acquire a well preserved, low-mileage survivor Exterior
