And thanks to the long service life, many variants have emerged over the years and almost every segment is or has been covered. From the radical J40 Off-roader to the comfortable J200 the presence. Toyota currently only offers the Land Cruiser as an SUV in the USA. But there is an old version of the Land Cruiser that was extremely popular in the past and is currently a sought-after classic. We're talking about FJ45 from the 1960s. It was introduced in different versions because the Japanese wanted to open up the growing market for small transport vehicles. And this red copy is a Short bed (short loading area) from 1965. This is the same completely restored and newly built classics one of the most beautiful we've seen in a long time.

Of course there was also a matching one sports brake system thought to delay the classic again appropriately. We would also like to briefly mention the interior.
