Left-hand drive example imported from dry South Europe
One former registered keeper
Comprehensively rebuilt with extensive mechanical and cosmetic work
MOT valid until May 2027 with no advisories
In current ownership for approximately nine years, always garaged
The Appeal
The Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is practically a byword for rugged, industrial performance and bulletproof build quality. Powered by Toyota's well-regarded 3B diesel engine, the BJ40 has earned a devoted global following and is still a remarkably enduring machine. It's little wonder we still clamour for them; it perfectly crosses a bridge between versatile off-roader and tractor-like hardware.
This 1983 example was imported to the UK and first registered here in December 2016. It has been garaged throughout the current ownership with limited use. A comprehensive rebuild has addressed the front axle, braking system, suspension, steering, and drivetrain, while the bodywork has been resprayed and the interior re-trimmed. In 2020, the current owner commissioned further significant work through Surrey Off Road Specialists, including numerous mechanical renewals detailed below. The vendor proudly reports that it starts on the key and runs smoothly. image.png1.84 MB
