In the 1950s, Americans stationed in Japan asked Toyota for a four-wheel drive car that the US Army could use there. Toyota took the request very seriously and developed the now world-famous Land Cruiser. A no-nonsense design that could handle the terrain under almost all conditions. So solidly built that failures turned out to be minimal and in practice Land Cruisers are good for many hundreds of thousands of kilometers. In the case of the BJ40 with a removable hardtop, it also works in sunny conditions, which is why it is also popular among beach lovers. This copy has been completely restored, taken apart down to the last screw and carefully rebuilt. She is again in an original-looking 'new condition'. This concerns a BJ40 delivered in Portugal, in Southern Europe these cars usually remain rust-free. The car was restored for cosmetic reasons, not because of serious rust. See the many details such as the bumpers, new rubbers, the beautiful interior and just as important less visible parts on the underside of the car, everything has been tackled and made as new again. A project that was carried out out of pure hobby as the costs of such a restoration obviously exceed the current purchase price. The BJ40 now has a real classic status. Therefore a workhorse with fun and potential. Due to the age of this Land Cruiser, it is allowed everywhere, including in Amsterdam, and you do not pay road tax. Delivered ready to drive including Dutch license plate, new MOT and maintenance.
