The Appeal
Today, classic Land Cruisers are more popular than ever. The FJ40's boxy, purposeful silhouette is nothing short of iconic, and its enviable off-road reputation precedes it. This 1975 example is utterly superb following an extensive restoration.
The vendor points out that it's a rare iteration of the model, characterised by single-piece rear side windows without the additional pop-out rear window - which offers a particularly line outline for the ever-handsome truck. According to the vendor, a further £5,000 was spent on servicing and repair, ensuring that it presents impeccably and drives brilliantly with no untoward squeaks, rattles, or clunks. A substantial collection of invoices itemising all the work carried out accompanies the car.
Compared to a Series Land Rover of the same vintage, this Land Cruiser is veritably luxurious, with power steering, air conditioning, and even front disc brakes! The next owner will become the first since its import to the UK. An MOT test has been performed, which is valid until July 2025. All required documents will be supplied. ff8a7d1c-9523-4c5f-9516-cc36faf80cd7.jpg3.47 MB
