This Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser is a particularly smart example of the eminently versatile classic 4x4, offered in unmodified condition and benefitting from a previous full respray. Under the bonnet sits a naturally aspirated 4.2-litre straight-six, producing around 101kW and driving all four wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The five-digit odometer indicates 12,269 Kms, however this is not warranted. This example has been kept in storage over recent years, and is now offered for sale via the trade. This FJ40 Land Cruiser is finished in the utilitarian hue of Sand with a white roof and front grille surround, over a black vinyl-trimmed interior with a body-coloured dashboard, punctuated by silver trim accents. It rides on a set of aftermarket 15-inch steel wheels finished in gloss black, and shod in Federal Couragia M/T tyres. The factory specification includes a hinged rear spare wheel carrier, a split half tailgate, heater and ventilation controls, a low range gearbox, fold-down rear bench seats, manually operated windows, and a three-spoke steering wheel. The car is accompanied by an original jack, and a spare wheel with a cover. A brief story about the discovery of the FJ40 by a previous owner is shown in the photo gallery. The resprayed Sand paintwork is reported to be in good overall condition, though the seller notes a few minor stone chips and blemishes around the car. There are also imperfections on the front bumper bracket, flaking paint on the rear mudflaps, minor pitting on the driver’s wing mirror arm, and a few touched-up imperfections on the rear bumper. Stepping inside, the cabin is presented in generally good shape given the car’s age. The seller notes possible minor overspray on the door trims and seats. There is also a small area of wear on the driver’s outer seat base, as well as an honest ‘patina’ on the dashboard, and a number of scuffs, blemishes, and surface rust visible throughout the cabin. The seller notes that the tyres will need replacing, and the rear number plate light wiring needs attending to. This Toyota FJ40 Land Cruiser is a presentable example of the iconic rugged and dependable classic Japanese 4x4, offered in highly original condition and benefitting from a previous full respray. Finished in a handsome colour scheme and with impressive off-road capabilities, it would make a solid addition to any collection, and a characterful yet reliably companion for retro daily driving, as well as weekend adventures both on and off the beaten track.
