The invincible came out on an 06 plate I think - replaced the LC5, has a few subtle styling differences (darker headlights, darker radiator grill, dark wood trim..) and a few KW more power.

There seem to have been three invincibles:

First Edition: June 2006, 201 BHP
5-door, 8-seat Land Cruiser Invincible from June 2006 has Toyota's 3.0-litre D-4D engine and five-speed automatic transmission with more power and torque. Output increased from 164 to 201bhp (166 to 204 DINhp) and torque from 410 to 470Nm, giving stronger load-pulling and off-road driving ability and more flexible and comfortable on-road performance. 0 to 62mph down from 11.2 to 10.8 seconds. Top speed, fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emissions unchanged at 109mph, 31.4mpg (combined cycle) and 243g/km. Dark tinted rear privacy glass and dedicated 'Invincible' badging. Spare under the vehicle, instead of the tailgate. 500 are available, priced on-the-road at £34,565.

Second Edition: May 2007, 173 BHP
Invincible top of the range 8-seater from May 2007 has Sequoia leather seats, full-map satnav, dual zone climate control, electric heated front seats, plus rear privacy glass and DVD player with two headrest mounted screens. £38,495 (£500 more than LC5).

Third Edition: October 2007, 173 BHP
From October 2007 Invincible replaced LC5 as top of the range model. Standard specification includes Bluetooth, rear parking monitor, black wood trim inserts, a leather and wood multi-function steering wheel, privacy glass and dark-finish headlamps, grille and alloy wheels. Available with 3.0 D-4D diesel and 4.0 VVT-i petrol engines. Spec also includes 17-inch alloy wheels, full-map satellite navigation with Electronic Traffic Avoidance, Toyota Electronically Modulated Suspension (TEMS), nine-speaker sound system with six-disc CD changer and dual-zone climate control with independent front and rear controls.

I found that most Toyota dealers don't seem to know the three editions. And even saw one dealer trying to sell an LC4 to which someone has fitted tints and a power chip as an official invincible - I turned it down because it would have cost me so much extra to insure.

Some first editions didn't get registered until about Mar 2007. You can put the license plate into the DVLA license fee site to check which you have - a 201 BHP model gives 243g and a 173 BHP model gives 238g.

Marlot has it exactly right. The early Invincibles were LC5 Invincibles with the power hike. The later ones the Invincible replaced the LC5.

In the US, its the Lexus GX470 (and has a nice big petrol motor) , but the steering wheel is the wrong side so I don't think the trim will fit.

What about this?

Says its black, and that they can do RHD?

It wasn't a recommendation - just a demonstration that you can find kits by searching for a gx470. The one I posted was the first one that google brought up. If you want a different one find it yourself!

The

wasnt aimed at hour helpfulness Marlot... just the fact that there are people out there who do such things to their cars.... guess its just a matter of taste and if we all had the same taste in the world then I presume it's safe to say that the world would be a boooooring place...

Anywho, thanks for the advice on looking for a lexus interior trim, I've always looked either for Prado or Landcruiser and landcruiser 120 wood effect trim and funny enough never found what I'm looking for...

So you say the LEXUS GX470 is the US equivilant of our LC 120(ish)?

Gutted....

Ive contacted various US companies on the web and none of them do the kit for RHD cars...

So if anyone else out there were to find out of a place that does... PLEAAASE let us know....
