    I'm a bit late to the party but here's a scan of the export models (covers world-wide except Japan and N.America) up to 1984. http://members.iinet.com.au/~stepho/manuals/Toyota/IdManualExport1979/ Unfortunately I ran out of steam at page 125 / 292, so the Land Cruiser isn't in the scan, but the...

    Toyota made fire appliances based on many versions of the Land Cruiser. Here's the very first one - the FJJ fire appliance based on the original BJ Jeep (see p3 for pics and p4 for specs): Index of /~stepho/brochures/Toyota/Fire appliances 323 And here's a brochure of the original BJ...

    Thanks for the PDF. From what little I can decipher (ie words similar to English) it corresponds well with what I wrote on Wikipedia about the AA. Johnny, I think that last sentence is trying to say that it drove onto the transporter truck under its own steam. Possibly they used Chevy Stovebolt...

    Thanks Peter for the newspaper scan. Do you have an online version of that article? I tried looking at http://www.faz.net/f30/common/Suchergebnis.aspx?term=Toyota+AA&x=0&y=0&allchk=1 but had no luck with my non-existent German. Here's a discussion from 6 months ago that has more photos...

    FS35V and BH28 ambulances Another ambulance, shamelessly ripped from a Japanese site. This one is the FS35V, based on the 1961 RS32 Crown. Unlike the FS45V which had a 6 cylinder Crown as its base, the FS35V had to shoehorn the 6 cylinder F engine into a space that previously only held a 4...

    A potted history of the early cars is in order. In 1947 Toyota made the SA as essentially a VW Beetle with a water cooled engine up front - the public hated it. Toyota put the same engine in the ladder framed small truck called the SB. The public loved this and made custom sedan bodies for it...

    The S4# Crown's also had the option of the 2000cc M or 2300cc 2M engines, so the F engine isn't such a big leap in engineering terms. But in terms of power it's a big leap :) Earlier 4 cylinder Crowns were factory modified to make 6 cylinder police patrol cars, ambulances, etc by fitting...

    TAC3 How about the 1983 TAC3 off road concept vehicle. It has a central drivers seat with a pair of rear seats. Unknown how serious the off road capabilities are. I'm guessing this inspired the RAV4. Some more details and another pic on my Toyota concept cars page

    Cammo, Excellent book extract. I've got a similar one from a local Australia mag but it has many inaccuracies and doesn't cover anywhere near the detail yours does. The section on Japanese engineers experiencing the bull dust of our outback makes for a good read though. Index of...

    You're welcome. They'd come a bit faster except I'm scanning 30" fold-out brochures on a little A4 scanner and it takes about a week of spare time to stitch them back together without seams. One day I will go back and remove the fold lines too but that takes much longer. I'm just loving all the...

    I stand corrected, it was a KB starter vehicle - doubly stupid considering I wrote the Wikipedia article which explained all that :doh: Nice pic of the KB and BM. Looks like one happy worker in front of them. Try this for something a little more colourful... - Stepho

    This is a Toyota KC aircraft starter truck (often called a GB starter truck). It has a power take-off driving a shaft above the cab which is used to start an aircraft engine. The Japanese top text says this and gives the date as June 1942. I have a couple of scale models of this, one of...
