The Toyota Land Cruiser is one of the most iconic 4X4s ever produced, from the jungles of Indonesia to the deserts of Africa the Land Cruiser has conquered them all. The timeless rugged style and long-lasting durability are what make the FJ/BJ a legend, and thanks to Legacy Overland you can drive what is essentially a brand new (and slightly improved) version of this legendary vehicle.

This particular BJ40 is to be sold at Bonham’s Greenwich Concourse d’Elegance Auction June 2017: Revamped to perfectly blend in with nature, its glossy finish in Toyota Olive Green (code 653) color and a beige period-correct canvas soft-top. Legacy Overland does add some improvements, improved roll bar, LED lighting, premium interior, and retro style sound system with all the latest technology built-in, giving you the best of both retro style and modern convenience.
