Today, classic Land Cruisers are more popular than ever. The FJ40's boxy, purposeful silhouette is nothing short of iconic, and its enviable off-road reputation precedes it. This 1975 example is utterly superb following an extensive restoration.
This 1975 example is utterly superb following an extensive restoration. It’s a rare iteration of the 40 Series, characterised by single-piece rear side windows without the pop-out rear window—giving it a particularly clean outline that highlights its rugged, timeless look. Over £7,000 was recently invested into servicing and repairs, so not only does it look fantastic, but it drives like a dream, with no quirks or issues to worry about for the new owner.
What makes this 40 Series so special compared to, say, a Series Land Rover from the same era? Well, it’s a bit of a luxury in comparison. Power steering, air conditioning, and even front disc brakes! It’s got that old-school toughness, but with a few creature comforts that make it a pleasure to drive—whether you're taking it on an off-road adventure or simply cruising around London.
And in this case, for the new owner who will be regularly using this vehicle around London, it’s the perfect blend of classic style and modern-day usability. With all the recent work done, it’s ready to turn heads on the streets while offering a smooth and reliable drive every day.
Finished in an iconic red, its timeless and striking good looks will no doubt turn heads, yet it still feels perfectly at home against the London city backdrop. And here's where it gets even better—since this FJ40 is classified as a historic vehicle, it’s ULEZ exempt. That means you can drive all over London at any time of day without worrying about extra charges. It’s just another fantastic reason for the new owner to fall in love with this incredible truck!
Every moment in a classic 40 Series Land Cruiser is unforgettable when you're sitting in such a beautifully designed interior. Less is definitely more with this FJ40, featuring classic textured vinyl seats and all-new trims and finishes—it’s simply unmatched! The new owner will no doubt catch onlookers peering through the windows, admiring the clean and timeless interior
Let’s not forget, this is a Toyota—legendary for being built to last, easy to service, and supported by a vast availability of affordable parts. When it comes to the 40 Series Land Cruiser, durability is practically a given. The new owner won't need to worry about servicing or maintenance anytime soon, thanks to the extensive work and new parts recently fitted to this FJ40.
Under the bonnet, you’ll find a smooth and reliable 4230cc straight-six petrol engine, providing all the power and performance you’d expect from a vehicle of this calibre. Whether you're cruising through the city or taking it off-road into rugged terrain, testing out the hi and lo 4x4 gearbox, front locking hubs, solid axles, and upgraded suspension, this FJ40 is ready to perform on demand. It’s no wonder this model stands as an icon in the Land Cruiser range, renowned for handling everything from urban streets to serious off-roading with ease.
