This is my personal vehicle. from my collection and have used it in Europe.
 
I imported the car and went through the tedious and complicated work of making the car US legal. so you won't have to do it and got it registered in the USA. meaning I have a clean and clear Title on hand under my name and made it legal in all 50 States .
Also. all my cars were Titled under my personal name back home. That's the difference versus the competition who buys their car out of the country. without seeing them. without any history. without books. without records.

I have already imported some of my cars from my personal collection and they were sold within few days.

ALL my cars have very low original miles. mostly with documentations. mostly with their original books and kept in meticulous condition.
Since my last sale here on Ebay. I have had lots of inquiries for the upcoming cars.
Collectors. enthusiastic persons are waiting to put their hands on my very rare cars.
Their value are increasing and as of today. there is NOT an other car like this one in the US.

It's a very rare car in Europe. in fact. the only one documented in this configuration with a working emergency beacon. siren  and unique in the US.
It features factory original soft top with factory working emergency beacon from Japan in 24 Volts. factory jump seats. factory original tools. and all books from day one out of the dealership.

None like this one around. No chances to see an other one. Your chance to own it.

Disclaimer: Ebay does not recognize the 10 digit VIN for this European car. As shown on the Title and stamped on the chassis. the number is BJ43002668.


This Toyota is a BJ 43. B standing for the Diesel type of vehicle. 4 cylinders inline and a very rare Diesel Toyota motor. and 43 stand for the length of the chassis. This is a medium chassis.
Gear box is a 4 speed. shifts like new.
The car drove 7694 original Miles since new (12382 Kms) and counting. have all documents. has been serviced and kept in a heated garage at home when not in use.
 It came as a red car off the Japaneses factory. and delivered to the dealership in that color.
Then it has been purchased by the Fire Department who painted it in red. a special red used for emergency vehicle in Europe back in 1978.
The car went through an on chassis restoration and has been resprayed about 6 weeks ago using the same color code as the original.
There is absolutely NO rust on the chassis and the frame. NO blistering paint or bubble of any kind. NO rock chips because the car stayed garaged its entire life and pampered. Actually. there is even NOT a single scratch on the paint.
Interior is also original with no stains. no tears. no smell.

The zippers. straps. thread is ALL original from out of the factory.
The entire soft top can be removed and you will get an open convertible as seen on the photos.

Motor is original and pulls strong. has lots of torque. does NOT smoke and fires up easily. Injectors were checked. fuel pump checked. glow plug checked. oil change few days ago. tires rotated few days ago.

ORIGINAL siren (not working disconnected due to Highway Patrol Inspection and laws)ORIGINAL interior. ORIGINAL and rare jump seats. ORIGINAL factory tools. ORIGINAL books from the dealership. ORIGINAL 1978 spare tire. ORIGINAL floor mats. ORIGINAL PTO.

NOTE:
This Toyota is legally imported in the USA. comes with a Florida State Title. free and clear. under my name and is exempted from smog check as it is a vehicle over 25 years old and some states. will register it as a collectible vehicle.

I went through the tedious and the very complicated work of making the car US legal. so you won't have to do it and got it is registered in the USA. meaning I have a clean and clear Title on hand and under my name.
It has a speedometer in kilometers. inspected. approved by Florida Highway Patrol. Florida DMV and legal.

This car has been through several inspection at Custom Border Patrol (CBP). Agricultural Inspection. EPA. DOT. Highway Safety Inspection. DMV Inspection and passed all of them with flying colors.
