Toyota Land Cruiser FZJ73, 1994. Two owners, 57,626 km.

While the rest of the world was busy making SUVs look more and more like one another, Toyota simply carried on doing its own thing. Better still: while most 4x4s from the 1990s now only turn up in a scrapyard somewhere behind a warehouse, the Land Cruisers of that era just kept going. To Africa, to Australia, to the most remote corners of the earth where there is no AA, no charging point and certainly no roadside patrol. When the UN needs to bring aid supplies to a place where the road runs out, there is no Range Rover waiting. There is a Toyota. And nine times out of ten it is one from precisely this family.

The 70 Series is the genuine, unvarnished workhorse of the Land Cruiser range. No chrome for the sake of chrome, no leather seats with a massage function, no dashboard that wishes you good morning. This is the generation built to survive, not to impress in the golf club car park. And that is exactly why it has become so terribly sought after. The prices these things command nowadays, especially in the good specifications, would make many an AMG owner blush.

The story continues on our website, where the full file is kept as well. 75 photographs. The service history, scanned in full. Paint thickness measured panel by panel. A timeline from 1 January 1994 to today, with every owner and the mileage year by year in a single graph.

Every car here follows the same route: first pre-market, then the showroom, and finally the live auction on our own site. What changes is the way you buy, not the location — once a car has arrived, it stays with us in Katwijk. This one is in the showroom and you are welcome to come and see it, no appointment needed. You buy it here at a fixed price: no bidding, no waiting. Our showroom in Katwijk, 30 km from Amsterdam Schiphol, is open Mon–Fri 9–18 and Sat 10–17. Call ahead and it will be standing ready, with someone free for you.

Within the EU no customs duty arises on this purchase. Registration tax and registration costs in your own country are not included. We supply the export documents and assist with the registration. The price shown is the full price for collection in Katwijk. We arrange insured door-to-door transport worldwide, cost quoted per destination beforehand.

Prefer a different colour or specification than this example? Tell us what you are looking for — another Toyota we can often find through our network of marque specialists and collectors, outside the listings. Have one of your own: we buy exceptional cars outright, classic or modern.

Our showroom measures 6,000 m², with over 150 cars under one roof. You are just as welcome if you are not buying — walk around, take your time and enjoy the cars; sharing the enthusiasm is half of it.
