The rebuild

The truck has gone through a complete rebuild using original Toyota parts. The 3B diesel was rebuilt and has covered fewer than 200 km since. The interior is new leather. The body is the original steel shell, finished in period green with a white roof.

It is ready to drive, not a project.

Why this one

The BJ40 diesel is the working 40-series people actually use: simple, strong, and increasingly scarce in this condition. RHD suits the UK, Australia, southern Africa and Japan-spec collectors. Import into the UK is straightforward on age: over 30 years, no IVA, collector VAT treatment possible — buyer to confirm with their agent.
