The private seller offers for sale this 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40, powered by a 3.0-litre four-cylinder diesel engine, paired with a manual transmission. The 40 Series Land Cruiser was built for more than two decades and earned a reputation around the world for its simple construction and its ability to cover rough ground, which has made the short-wheelbase hardtop one of the most recognisable classic off-roaders. This example is finished in mustard yellow with a white roof, a rear-mounted spare wheel and 4 Wheel Drive badging.
The seller describes the vehicle as original and reports that the body shell was redone and welded and then freshly painted. The brake system, including the drums and wheel cylinders, was repaired, the suspension and bearings were exchanged, and the rims and tyres are new. Photographs of the work in progress, including the engine components, brake parts and the underbody, accompany the listing. Inside, the vehicle has grey vinyl front seats with fold-up rear seating and a simple instrument cluster. The seller states that the German technical inspection was carried out and is valid until April 2028.
