Looks like a sales woman is showing a couple the brand new 1961 FJ40 FST and there are not that excited about.
Definitely in a Middle East country, but which of them?

Going through my dad’s old slides…..he was a Porsche Fan and a life longe member of Porsche Club of America (PCA). Anyway ran across this.
The photo was 1969 or 1970, PCA track event, I think near Utica NY.
There are several of us with the Porsche and Land Cruiser bug. This is a classic, tow your race rig with your daily rig.

Cool unique picture.
How much does an old Porsche like that weigh? Between the trailer and the roadster that 40 suspension has all it wants!

Would have to be late 69 at the earliest. 10/69 the start of the 70 model lights replaced reflectors on the side.
Car hauler must have had a steel deck by the way the back is down on the 40. Tandem axle and engine in the back on the Porsche tongue weight shouldn't have been that bad.
I think the Land Cruiser is sporting 31” tires and the 356 Cabriolet is maybe 2300 lbs. Because of the dual axle and the Porsche’s rear engine, pretty balanced…..but still pretty good load on a 100 hp F engine.
I still have a set of those old-school off road rims in storage. They were not easy to find anymore, even back in the 80s, when I tracked mine down. But seeing them in an old ConFerr catalog made me want them.
Here’s a pic of them on Ruftoys, circa 1991 on Rubithon
This was the closest I got to the vintage ConFerr look, sporting their windshield light tabs, steel half doors, sandbar rollcage, side and rear can mounts, and of course the rims they featured on the Super Heep in their catalog. You can’t see it in the pic, but up front I had their bullbar which held the hi-lift, shovel and axe.

My dad's '72 cruiser. He bought it new off the showroom floor.
WoW
Here’s some pics of a Cruiser up in Montana that l was wanting to buy in the early ‘90’s but thought at the time that $7K was too much.
I bet you'd have paid it if the bezel was right- side-up....
On the post above yours didn't seem to help that it was one of those not too short and not too long 40 series.
I understand why the mid wheel base never made to the US being they really were after the small car market originally. But why Australia only seen a few mid wheel base 40 series in the early years is a mystery.
Since l started L
Kin’ at IH8MUD, (unbeknownst to me) this frequently made blunder is epidemic.
