Perhaps the most recognisable design ever to leave Japan, Toyota’s 40-Series Land Cruiser is also arguably the most rugged and durable. Introduced in 1960, the model went on to conquer some of the most challenging terrain on earth, cementing the Japanese firm’s reputation for quality and reliability. Although retired in most markets in 1984, the FJ40 is still an extraordinarily capable and highly-prized off-roader.
Part of The Degenève Collection, a line-up belonging to one of Europe’s very first Toyota dealers, the FJ40 offered is a beautifully presented example of this iconic design. Registered in May 1978, it is finished in its original original Freeborn Red and powered by the torquey long-stroke 4,230 cc straight-six “2F” engine. Sitting on evocative BF Goodrich all-terrain tyres, the Toyota presents beautifully. This FJ40 comes with its original manuals and is guaranteed to turn heads—whether at shows, or on remote mountain tracks.
Le Toyota Land Cruiser de la Série 40 est peut-être le véhicule le plus reconnaissable ayant jamais quitté le Japon, en plus d'être le plus robuste et durable. Lancé en 1960, ce modèle a envahi certains des terrains les plus difficiles de la planète, consolidant la réputation de qualité et de fiabilité du constructeur japonais. Bien que sa diffusion ait cessé en 1984 sur la plupart des marchés, le FJ40 reste un véhicule tout-terrain extraordinairement efficace et apprécié.
Faisant partie de la collection Degenève, un ensemble de voitures appartenant à l'un des agents Toyota les plus anciens d'Europe, le FJ40 proposé ici est un exemplaire superbe de ce modèle iconique. Immatriculé en mai 1978, il présente sa couleur d'origine "Freeborn Red" et il est équipé du coupleux 6-cylindres 2F de 4 230 cm3 à longue course. Chaussé d'impressionnants pneus tout-terrain BF Goodrich, ce Toyota FJ40 a belle allure. Il est accompagné de ses manuels d'origine et ne manquera pas de faire tourner les têtes, que ce soit lors de rassemblements ou sur de lointains chemins de montagne.
