A Beauty - Nothern HJ60

I've spoted this one in Finland, in city called Rovaniemi, during my trip to North Cape this year. A real beauty !

By the way - I was shocked that in Finland every 10th car seen on the road was a HJ60 or 61 Land Cruiser !!

Should we call Finland a "J6 Heaven" ? :-)

Very nice. I didn't know the Finns were that wealthy for so many to be cruiser owners. When in Sweden, I noticed that many of the cars were fitted with large offroad lights like the Cibies on this HJ.

nice to see a close up on the "G" model. I thought it came without the chrome accents. looks like they are missing around the doors, but are on window rubber and roof gutter. also looks like its got the sweet rear axle

I got a CND "G" with all the chrome crap. but has the chrome on the door window bottom.

But I don't have the full floater rear,

IIRC, and often I don't, didn't all Scandinavian 60/42 series get FFs and PTO's?

same in Finland :-) Normally, they have 3 lights. And they use it on almost all normall cars as well (imagine 1972 Volvo with 3 huge offroad lights!)
