70 Series Land Cruisers were not imported into the US but saw use in Japan, Africa, Australia and Central/South America. Driving a RHD is easily undertaken on US roadways and requires very little time to adjust. Parts are readily available and many Toyota shops will eagerly work on these vehicles.
Originally finished in a two-tone scheme of Dark Blue Mica Metallic and Flaxen Mica Metallic, the body was repainted its current shade of Sand during restoration in Japan. An eclectic mirror is standard to the passenger-side fender, featuring window rain guards and additional features include adjustable side mirrors, chrome bumpers, running boards, and a hitch receiver.
