The Appeal
The Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 remains one of the most recognisable classic 4x4s, notably for its straightforward design, robust construction and distinctive styling. With its 3,878 cc six-cylinder engine and four-wheel-drive transmission, it delivers a direct and mechanical driving experience, characteristic of the marque's early off-road vehicles.
This 1973 example presents itself in an apparently unmodified state since its acquisition, according to information provided by the seller. The seller reports that the engine starts easily in cold and warm conditions and runs smoothly, whilst the gearbox, clutch, brakes and suspension all function correctly.
Structurally, the chassis and underside are reported in good condition. The paintwork, which is said to have been resprayed previously, now shows signs of age-related wear and various imperfections. Areas of light surface corrosion are also visible on the bodywork. The car can therefore be preserved in its current state or subjected to progressive restoration.
Inside, the vinyl trim shows light age-related wear and the front seats and rear bench are described as well preserved. The headlining has been removed. Acquired for a collection and supplied with Swiss documentation, this FJ40 is offered in a condition that warrants thorough inspection, particularly regarding corrosion and the chassis.104_2377 pieter monteny.JPG1.88 MB
