40 Series (1961 to 1986)

Produced primarily between 1961 and 1986, the Toyota Land Cruiser 40 Series is widely regarded as one of the most durable and iconic four-wheel drives ever built, forming the backbone of Toyota’s global off-road reputation. Encompassing models such as the FJ40, FJ43, and FJ45, along with their pickup, wagon, and troop carrier variants, the 40 Series was engineered for extreme conditions, with petrol-powered FJ models and diesel BJ/HJ variants offering unmatched longevity. In total, over one million 40 Series Land Cruisers were produced worldwide, a testament to their global success. In the Australian market, the 40 Series became a true workhorse across farming, mining, and remote-area use, and today it is highly sought after in both original, unrestored condition and as high-end resto-mod builds, with values driven by body style, drivetrain (diesel premium), originality, and provenance, cementing its status as one of the most collectible classic 4x4s ever sold.
