BJ40 for sale?

corglass · 2011-05-01 14:12:40

Hey, Just a quick one, does anyone know where I'd find an old (pre1980) Toyota Landcruiser BJ40 or FJ40. Even if it's in a shed, hasn't started etc. I've been looking for ages and so have have only found wrecks or fully resorted ones. I'm looking for something in the middle. Here's a photo of one for those who don't know…

I spotted two for sale on either donedeal.ie or carzone.ie.

You could also try the Toyota Enthuiasts Club...it's a new Irish club. Contact details are in the current edition of - Irish Vintage Scene's new magazine - 'Retro Classics'.

Spotted a mint white BJ40 only this morning on the road in Gorey...complete with original 'TNI' (Wicklow) reg plates.

There's one in Thurles that was featured in Irish Vintage Scene some time ago. I reckon you'll struggle to find a decent one that isn't a rust bucket and have to go to the US and Australia for some parts.
