When the Japanese military first found an old Bantam Mk II Jeep during the occupation of the Philippines in 1941 and sent it back home to be replicated, they didn’t realize they were beginning such a long-running tradition as the Toyota Land Cruiser Series has provided. Since 1951 Toyota has been constantly improving on this signature series vehicle, creating one of the manliest, most rugged trucks out there (the company tests their Land Cruiser models in the Australian Outback so they will face nothing worse anywhere else in the world.)
The flawless 1979 Toyota Land Cruiser ($Inquire ) you see here is available to buy from our Portugal-based friends at Cool & Vintage. Fully restored about 5 years ago, the Japanese 4×4 wears brand new BF Goodrich Mud Mk2 tires and is said to be in great overall shape, including the all-important horsepower delivered by the indestructible B series 3L Diesel engine.
