When it comes to vintage restorations, there are more than a few pristine Land Rovers, Jeeps, Broncos, Blazers and Land Cruisers that we’ve featured over the years. But the 1985 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ40 Convertible you see here is one that we’ve never had the pleasure of ogling, because it’s particularly rare. This BJ40 is one of the seldom-seen convertible diesel variants that includes a 2,977cc inline 4-cylinder engine mated to a 4-speed manual transmission. Restored by a team of marquee experts, the vintage SUV got a new combination flat/gloss black paint job, two-tone leather upholstery, custom roll-bar (including the rear bench seats!), Old Man Emu suspension, steel wheels and modern conveniences like LED lighting and Bluetooth sound.
