The Land Cruiser is Toyota's longest-running model and dates back to 1951. In much the same way that today's luxurious Range Rovers bear little resemblance to the original no-nonsense, go-anywhere Land Rover, the latest Land Cruisers, though competent off-road vehicles, are a breed apart from their more Jeep-like ancestors. The J40 series vehicles were manufactured from 1960 to 1984, of which the FJ45 was a rugged versatile variant offered in three guises - four-door Wagon and short or long wheelbase Pickup.
They are certainly rare on these shores, which should make this extremely smart right-hand drive Pickup of particular interest. It is a manual truck from the last year of manufacture, powered by a straight-six 4.2-litre petrol engine. 'A951 TAG' started life in South Africa, where it was restored in 2011 before coming to the UK. It is finished in sparkling Alpine White and trimmed in Black leatherette, and the specification includes a roll cage and massive front bull bar. The vehicle is fully UK registered with an MOT into September 2016 and is regarded by the vendor as having 'excellent' engine and four-speed manual transmission, 'very good' bodywork, electrical system and interior trim, and 'good' paintwork. The mileage currently stands at an unwarranted 59,803.
