1986 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ74

KEY FACTS This BJ74-era Toyota Land Cruiser LX is a rare and robust Japanese-market modern classic 4x4, presented with an extensively upgraded powertrain and off-road enhancements. It is now powered by a professionally upgraded 4.1-litre 15B-FT turbocharged diesel inline-four engine, driving all four wheels via a four-speed automatic transmission. First registered abroad in 1986, this example is now located in Australia. The odometer indicates 218,026 km, though this is not warranted due to a speedometer calibration issue from a wheel size upgrade.
