The record

Toyota Australia sold the 80 in Standard, GXL and Sahara grades; the Sahara had the full equipment and, from 1992, the twin-cam 4.5 or the turbo-diesel, with front and rear locking differentials optional. It is the 80 most sought for touring.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
