• A rare, UK-delivered FJ45 pick-up truck first registered on 17/08/1976 and displaying a John Barwell Toyota sticker, understood to be the supplying dealer
• The 1976 model-year occupies an important transitional era for the J40 platform, benefiting from several notable factory mid-generation updates
• This smart example was subject to a body off restoration that began in 2014. A replacement powder-coated chassis underpins the repainted Rustic Green bodywork and, whilst the interior has been re-trimmed where required, original details have been retained
• Fitted with electronic ignition, an electric fan, Weber carburettor upgrades, and stainless steel exhaust
• Unlike many restored vehicles, this Toyota has actually been used and driven for some 4,000 miles since its restoration and has therefore bedded in nicely
• A part of our vendor’s eclectic Collection since February 2020, the odometer reads some 69,000 miles
• Because it was primarily treated as an agricultural commercial vehicle in period, finding a surviving example of this quality is exceptionally rare and they are now highly prized by classic 4x4 collectors.
