1976 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER

This lot will be auctioned via Iconic Auctioneers, The Classic Sale at the NEC Classic Motor Show 2026 on Sunday the 15th of November, NEC, Birmingham, B40 1NT. Estimated price: GBP 22,000 - GBP 25,000.

A rare, UK-delivered FJ45 pick-up truck first registered on 17/08/1976 and displaying a John Barwell Toyota sticker, understood to be the supplying dealer

The 1976 model-year occupies an important transitional era for the J40 platform, benefiting from several notable factory mid-generation updates

This smart example was subject to a body off restoration that began in 2014. A replacement powder-coated chassis underpins the repainted Rustic Green bodywork and, whilst the interior has been re-trimmed where required, original details have been retained

Fitted with electronic ignition, an electric fan, Weber carburettor upgrades, and stainless steel exhaust

Unlike many restored vehicles, this Toyota has actually been used and driven for some 4,000 miles since its restoration and has therefore bedded in nicely

A part of our vendor’s eclectic Collection since February 2020, the odometer reads some 69,000 miles

Because it was primarily treated as an agricultural commercial vehicle in period, finding a surviving example of this quality is exceptionally rare and they are now highly prized by classic 4x4 collectors.
