1977 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER HJ45 TRAYTOP – MANUAL Delivered new to it’s first owner by J. & J. Thamm, Toyota agents of Minlaton SA on the 23rd of November 1977. We hold the original service and handbook which tell us the above details and also some of it’s early service history. From these original books, we can confirm this is a very original and matching numbers vehicle. Powered by 4.2 Litre 6 cylinder engine, it produced when new 99.3Kw and 284.2Nm of power and torque, delivered to an AWD system via a 4 speed manual gearbox. Performance wasn’t a Land Cruiser’s forte in the 70’s more their ability to go reliably just about anywhere. However figures at the time of release suggest 0-100kph in 14.3 secs and top speed near 130kph. This beautiful example has undergone a complete restoration by the present owner with his focus on originality. These are his words which describe the journey best of all:- “TOYOTA FJ45 LANDCRUISER SXH 972 This vehicle has been in my ownership for about 30 years, the first 20 years used for everyday work on my farm in the Adelaide Hills. I purchased the vehicle through an Adelaide car dealer who advised me it was the “run around” vehicle for a South Australian Toyota dealership which went into administration around that time. Prior to that the only history we have of the vehicle is in the original delivery/service books issued to the original owner in 1977 and which are included with the vehicle. The vehicle has matching numbers and still has the original dealership decal preserved on the rear window. Since my retirement and sale of the farm my kids encouraged me to retain the vehicle and restore it as my retirement project. This was done over a period of about 9 years with “stop start” approach. It was stripped to the bare chassis and completely rebuilt from the ground up including all mechanicals, body work professionally done with all rust repaired and treated before being painted in its original colour. The trim was professionally done. Once the restoration was completed the vehicle went to a qualified mechanic with many years of experience with Toyota Landcruiser restorations. It was extensively checked to verify all mechanical work was carried out to a high standard and that the vehicle was completely roadworthy. The vehicle has been restored as close as possible to original specifications. Since completion of the restoration about 9 months ago the vehicle has travelled less than 1,000 kms. The vehicle is being sold as I am downsizing my property and there is insufficient room to store the vehicle. A complete photographic history of the strip down and rebuild is available if required along with a folder of all receipts and notations of money spent and a workshop manual.” It is also possible that the SA plates currently on the car are the original ones issued when new. They also may be available if the car is sold to another SA resident. Currently on Historic registration in South Australia, this is not transferable, however the vehicle would be eligible for similar schemes in other jurisdictions, equating to minimal on road costs. This vehicle is an outstanding example of it’s type and would satisfy someone who is considering an early Land Cruiser restoration, but saving you years of time, toil and cost.
