Highlights

Sale includes two BJ42s; a restored grey example and a green donor vehicle
Restored prior to current ownership around 2019
Imported from Australia and now registered on UK plates
In current ownership for approximately seven years with little use reported

The Appeal

The Toyota Land Cruiser BJ42 is among the most respected short-wheelbase utility vehicles ever built. Powered by Toyota's durable 3B diesel engine and paired with a five-speed manual gearbox, the BJ42 has earned a devoted global following, and good examples are increasingly hard to come by.

This 1983 example presents as a well-preserved restoration with only minor cosmetic attention needed. The inclusion of a second BJ42 as a donor vehicle adds considerable practical value, offering a ready supply of mechanical and body components for future maintenance or a separate project.
