1983 Toyota Land Cruiser BJ45 Diesel Troopy

This 1983 Toyota Land Cruiser is a left-hand drive troop carrier that is said to have been used as an emergency support vehicle by the Lisbon Airport in Portugal prior to its importation to Canada from the Netherlands by the seller in May 2021. The truck is finished in red with a white roof over gray vinyl and powered by a 3.4-liter 3B diesel inline-four paired with a four-speed manual transmission and dual-range transfer case. Equipment includes troopy seating, 16” wheels, and ambulance-style rear doors. This BJ45 is offered in Canada with Canadian import documents and Novia Scotia registration.

The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-km/h speedometer as well as gauges for oil level, temperature, amperage, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 45k kilometers (~28k miles), approximately 500 of which were added by the seller. The seller notes the fuel gauge intermittently stops working when the fuel level is below half a tank.
