Always kinda wanted an early landcruiser . They dont seem to sell though. Guessing its the price folks put on them.
€19,500 '79 BJ40 Nice truck . Not a fan of the colour . Bit pricey.

This next guy has a 76 FJ45 (€6250) and a 77 HJ45(€6250) . Stalled project maybe. They dont look in the best of conditions.

Theres a load of those pottering around rural Romania , in RHD too, no idea of sale prices or where to look but if you fancied a longer distance import it might save you money.

For sure. Been there, done that.
My posts are more a curiosity than any thing else on the market for 40 series in Ireland.

Yes, but as you'll see from most of the pics in the ad, because it's an Australian car, you won't be able to drive it here.

True, it's a whole new experience learning to drive while upside down.

TrailerBob · 20-04-2018 11:40AM

A few guys out to make a few quid on Aus imports. They can be had for reasonable money, especially ex farm and mining trucks. If you get a good deal on shipping then landing a good one in Ireland for 8 or 9 grand is very possible. I'd love one, but prices are prohibitive at the minute.

Mitchomagic · 20-04-2018 12:33PM

Anyone doing spare for theses in Ireland,new/2nd hand?

I have a BJ40 that needs restoration just gauging where to source parts

Cheers

TrailerBob · 20-04-2018 01:27PM

There's a guy in wexford doing full rear tubs and body panels, you'll find him on donedeal. Other than that its mostly eBay or the like

Pm me if you like, I fully restored one a few years ago. Did everything, new wiring, rebuilt chassis, new panels etc etc etc. I still have plenty of contacts

Bus Boy · 29-04-2018 12:23AM

We have just restored my father in laws. I’ve been told it’s only one of 3 in Ireland which has been his since new. Drove it out of a well known Toyota dealer in 1981, they’ve even tried to buy it back on many occasions for a lot more than 20k. A 20k import may look cheap but that’s just the start... It’s 20k for a reason. If I was looking for a BJ40 I’d try source an original Irish one and then start a restoration. A pal of mine recently bought a ‘mint’ Portuguese one at auction that had spent its time in Africa, let’s just say another 20k may have got it ‘mint’. He doesn’t have it anymore. Be careful out there.

@TrailerBob Classic Cruiser Restoration. Excellent fabricator.

browner85 · 29-04-2018 12:29AM

Didn't Connollys in Wicklow have one for 70k last year &#55357;&#56883;&#55357;&#56883;

Bus Boy · 29-04-2018 12:36AM

Yes. Repossed from McCabe’s in Drogheda, was part of his private collection. Originally Indonesian, restored in California. Bought at auction in 2015 for €42k plus buyers premium and then put up by Paddy for €72k. Sold for €65k eventually. If it was Irish it would have gone for more &#55357;&#56843;.

It would have been worth that to the original dealer seller but only to him. Tax deductible business expense and great advertising. But that doesn't mean it would be worth 20 to anybody else ! I would pay more for a car i used to own that the guy next to me.
But , great to see he kept it and restored it.

I agree @80sDiesel, only worth what someone is willing to pay and all that.

Only the patina one has been sold so far.

Checker plate has always been used to hide a plethora of nasties, one would want to be really careful for that sort of rope.

Heartache right there. Rust in all the usual places. You could start at 20k+ to get that right, and that’s just the body, and then you have the engine, suspension and brakes...
