This 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ45 was bought by the previous owner from the original owner in France and imported to the US in 2017. The selling dealer bought in in Florida and shipped in back to France. Powered by a 3.4-liter diesel inline-four mated to a 4-speed manual transmission and a 4-wheel drive transfer case. The seller has added only 10k miles during his ownership and has recently serviced it by changing all of the fluids. A repaint was conducted in the original white, and the seats and carpets have been replaced. This BJ45 is sold with the owner’s books, all service records, a service manual and French registration.

The Troopy was a longer wheelbase Toyota FJ and was never available in North America. Few were produced, and the survival rate is low due to many being used as ambulances, taxis, or rural service vehicles. This example was replainted in the original shade of white. The seller mentions that this Troopy has always been garaged. The rear mounted spare sill wears the original wheel and tire combo.

Inside, the stock seats have been upgraded with modern cloth covered buckets and fresh carpeting has replaced the original rubber flooring. The dashboard and door panels show minimal wear, and the seller reports that all gauges and controls are functioning. The odometer shows 70k km.

The folding rear bench seats appear to have seen little use.

Power comes from a 3.4 liter 3B diesel 4-cylinder coupled to an H41 4-speed manual transmission and a four-wheel drive transfercase. The engine bay has been recently detailed, and recent work includes the replacement of all fluids.

The underside is shown above and in the gallery.

All owner’s books as well as complete service records are available. The original owner’s booklet shows service stamps from the early years in France.
