1995 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ73 FRP Top – 4. 2 Diesel – 204, 000 km (126, 759 miles)
A truly exceptional example of one of Toyota’s most desirable and increasingly hard-to-find Land Cruisers.
Imported directly from Japan, this 1995 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ73 is the sought-after FRP (Fibreglass Reinforced Plastic) removable hard top model, powered by Toyota’s legendary 4. 2-litre naturally aspirated 1HZ diesel engine. Renowned worldwide for its simplicity, reliability and longevity, the 1HZ has earned an almost mythical reputation and remains one of Toyota’s finest diesel engines.
Showing just 204, 000 km (126, 759 miles) from new, this Land Cruiser presents in excellent original condition throughout. The bodywork is very straight, the chassis is clean, and the interior has clearly been cherished. Finding an HZJ73 in this level of original, unmodified condition is becoming increasingly difficult.
Unlike many examples that have been heavily modified for off-road use, this vehicle remains factory standard, exactly as Toyota intended. It starts instantly, runs beautifully and drives exactly as a well-maintained Land Cruiser should.

Condition
This is one of those vehicles that immediately stands out.
The paintwork has a deep shine, the panel fit is excellent and the vehicle retains a wonderfully honest, original appearance. The interior is equally impressive, with exceptionally clean seats, dashboard, carpets and trim throughout. Everything has the feel of a vehicle that has been carefully looked after rather than restored.
Mechanically it performs exactly as you would expect. The legendary 1HZ engine pulls strongly, the gearbox shifts smoothly, the transfer box engages correctly and the vehicle drives with the solid feel these Land Cruisers are famous for.
Why buy an HZJ73?
The HZJ73 occupies a special place within the 70 Series family.
The short-wheelbase chassis combined with the removable FRP hard top creates a Land Cruiser that is both highly capable off-road and incredibly practical. It has become particularly desirable among collectors because it was produced in relatively small numbers compared with other 70 Series variants.
Examples in original condition are now becoming very difficult to source, particularly in the UK, where only a handful appear for sale each year. Enthusiasts actively seek these models thanks to the bulletproof 1HZ engine, classic styling and outstanding build quality. Community discussions consistently regard the HZJ73 with the 1HZ as one of the most desirable 70 Series configurations.
