Why it appeals

The Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 is among the most iconic off-road vehicles of its era. Launched in the late 1970s with its diesel engine, it quickly built a reputation for toughness and reliability thanks to its simple yet particularly robust design.

Its 3.0-litre, four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a manual gearbox and four-wheel drive, made it a true workhorse capable of tackling the toughest terrain—while, over the years, it has also become a much sought-after model for collectors and fans of classic vehicles.

This 1981 example has benefited from a full restoration, accompanied by a photo dossier and invoices detailing the work carried out. Today it stands out with a bespoke presentation including a leather interior, a quilted headlining, a three-spoke leather steering wheel, polished aluminium wheels, chrome bumpers and a PowerSprint exhaust system.

The vehicle has also received LED lighting and wheel spacers. The speedometer reads 35,000 km, with the mileage stated as verified by a Belgian Car-Pass document. A recent service has been carried out and, based on the information provided, this Land Cruiser is ready to hit the road with its next owner.
