The Appeal
Famously tested in the Australian outback, Toyota's laser focus on endurance and rugged ability has made the Land Cruiser the stuff of legend. These off-roaders are as rock solid as a piece of agricultural machinery, stick to the hills like a mountain goat and offer purposeful styling that's impossible not to like. The classic Cruisers evoke plenty of nostalgia and fascinated glances, and are only becoming more popular as a result.
This particular FJ40 was imported from Australia, where the dry climate appears to have treated it well. The car has benefited from a body-off refurbishment, substantial mechanical work, and a complete new wiring loom. The interior is presented to factory specification, with the front bench seat swapped for two separate seats and the original bench relocated to the rear. Having been kept in dry storage for approximately 5 years under current ownership, this FJ40 is a great ambassador for a truly iconic class of 4x4.20260423_163300 Paul Hardy.jpg4.27 MB
