The Appeal
If the Jeep and the Land Rover are the masters of the Western off-roader, it's hard to deny that Toyota's Landcruiser dominates the rest of the global market. Ably built, as reliable as they come, and with a distinctive styling all of their own, it's little wonder that the public clamours for such a characterful alternative to American and British equivalents.
This 1979 Toyota Landcruiser FJ40 is a perfect blend of restoration and originality. The body is in excellent condition, free from rust and corrosion, and painted in the popular Nebula Green. The mechanicals have been recently overhauled with plenty of new parts, many new genuine Toyota accessories for the interior and exterior that have just been fitted during restoration and plenty of money spent - so it will no doubt prove quite the capable companion.
