Wanted FJ/HJ/BJ45/47 Troopy (1 Viewer)

Year

1970

Vehicle Model

1. 45 Series

I just sold my 80 and looking for a partner for 70 FJ40 FST. Looking for a long wheel base 45/47 troopy.
Must be LHD, rust/rot free but prefer original paint and patina and dings dents. “Drivable” condition would be great.

Unfortunately they are both RHD.

You are going to be hard pressed to find a rust free lefty here in the states. I sold my bj45 a while back and am only aware of a handful here in the us.

 

[7schulz]

That’s why I’m here looking.

I would encourage looking at RHD to open up your options. My HJ45 Troopy was RHD and I was hesitant at first but it was not a big deal after about a 5 minute drive. The only thing I had trouble with was the turn signal stalk. For some reason I always missed it

The green FJ45. Body looks original. 25K euro is a lot of money. But LHD....

It’s not that I can’t drive a RHD. I don’t want one.

Yes, I’ve been talking with Henry. Importing a vehicle makes it cost prohibitive.

Keep looking, we too also wanted a LHD BJ45. We kicked around RHD and one with an less then desired engine but just weren’t comfortable going that route. It took a few years but we finally got what we wanted.
Point is be patient and it will work out, someone will sale one of these rare vehicles. It won’t be us but someone will

I’d be ok with a rolling chassis, I didn’t know BJ45 was an option until very recently. I’d only ever seen FJ/HJ.

This one originated in the Netherlands.

This is the goal. Diesel powered, diesel generator, diesel fired Espar heater.

I have to admit that we have had a few cruisers including 100's, 80's, 62's, 42's, and some 40's over the years. The Bj45 is our favorite by far. This winter we are installing new rebuilt 3B, H55. Our intent is to make it into a cruising camping rig for the wife and our dogs. It is simply a blast to drive. I will keep my eyes and ears open and reach out if I hear of anything.

Now the wife and I are taking the Troopy to town to get some lunch.
Cheers

Www.denbreems.nl has a good rolling 45 chassis with axles. Front disk brake, rear ff axle. He has a lot of 40/45 parts.

The yellow pop top is my old rig. Miss that thing. I think it is in Texas now but it’s RHD

I believe the LHD models typically come out of the middle east. Not sure if they had Troopies in South America. I've seen a 70 series troopy in Amsterdam.

Gumtree is my goto for searching australia but those are all RHD. The nice thing about RHD is that if you ever need some extra income you have the perfect mail delivery vehicle.

Came across this 70 series body listed in Australia. You could build a LHD up from it.
