Seller’s Notes:
This FJ40 Land Cruiser is very well priced considering it’s a late 79 model with extensive repairs, servicing, and all-new parts installed. The driveline is smooth and reliable, making it a dependable classic. The brown interior looks very smart against the steel grey paintwork, which is approximately five years old with some minor blemishes and touch-ups — the price reflects this. The underbody is very clean with no signs of rust. A great buy and an excellent investment.

Aesthetically stunning, timeless in design, famously reliable, and rapidly appreciating in value — this Land Cruiser ticks every box for classic car ownership.
