The origins of the long-running Land Cruiser series of 4x4s date back to 1941, when the Japanese authorities ordered Toyota to reverse engineer the Jeep. The first Land Cruiser was launched 10 years later. The name has become a byword for rugged dependability in parts of the world where even the ubiquitous Land Rover has been known to struggle. The now classic FJ40 model was in production from 1960 to 1984.

This RHD example was imported from Australia in 2015 and subjected to a comprehensive professional restoration in 2015/2016. The bodywork was restored by Sussex Coachworks whilst the engine and mechanics were entrusted to Imberhorne 4x4. We are advised that all panels were removed, shot blasted and resprayed in Capri Blue whilst the brakes, clutch, electrics, pistons, bearings, shock absorbers and cooling system were all renewed and the seats reupholstered. Used sparingly since completion, a shakedown journey to the Spa Classic was enjoyed with no issues. The vendor informs us the rear bench seat is not present, the odometer is missing a digit and the temperature sensor may need replacing. Otherwise he rates the bodywork as "excellent", the paintwork, engine and interior as "very good" and transmission as "good". Offered with current MoT with no advisories to 21 January 2018.
