Description
Description
The Toyota Land Cruiser, in its many sizes and configurations, has had a long and successful history of reliable service through the most rugged of conditions. Patterned after the ubiquitous Jeep and Land Rover utility vehicles, the Land Cruiser demonstrated that Toyota could produce much more than just economical cars. Introduced in 1960, it was available as the FJ40 series (with F engines) but also BJ40/41/42 (short wheelbase), BJ43/44/46 (middle wheelbase) or HJ45/47 (long wheelbase). In line with this, a number of chassis options were also available with half cabs, soft tops and doors and six-cylinder gasoline and diesel engines. They became indispensable in unsettled and remote areas of the world, hauled safaris through Africa, developed a devoted following among America's off-road culture and have spawned a host of imitators. Finding a good vintage example of these archetypical utility vehicles can be difficult.
Presented in blue coachwork with black hood and trim this example first registered in 1970 this example was imported from Malaysia in 2023 fully restored but requiring fettling. Our client purchased the vehicle in 2024 having been looking for a Type B restored and decided to send to specialists IR Cradock and Sons, Experts in Overland Expedition Vehicles whom carried out a full shakedown and service including fitting an electric fuel primer. Research also showed that this example though fully restored has a build specification as it was produced from the factory, unusual for a restored FJ40. Increasingly popular as collectors' items and for those fond of early 4X4 such as FJ's and Land rovers will find this charming Type B irresistible and in one of the iconic colourways for the FJ it will certainly stand out from a crowd.
