Comes with all original owner’s manuals, service book and brochures for modifications that have been carried out. Just been serviced by ourselves. Recently fitted with new spark plugs, leads and coil packs. Radiator, alternator and starter motor have also been changed with new items. Ultimately all common problems with 1JZ engines have been rectified so the next owner can enjoy stress free motoring.
Overall, in great condition throughout. There are a few very minor exterior imperfections (detailed pictures available) as you would expect from the age/mileage. Underneath is completely rust free in factory condition with no underseal to hide anything. Drives incredibly well, a great combination of both luxury and performance. These are becoming very desirable vehicles that will rocket up in value over the coming years. As mentioned, clean and genuine examples are becoming very difficult to source in Japan making this a great investment opportunity. We have seen a heavy price increase over the last year for all 1jz/2jz turbo vehicles, get one while you can.
