Hi, new here and new to fj40’s. Looking forward to asking stupid questions and talking advantage of all of your experience. I’ve always been a bike man, so what i know about 40’s you could more or less write on the back of a stamp.
Cheers.

Welcome. Im sure some one will chime in with the usual salute soon.

Any more pics? What year? Engine?

Yes it looks very nice.

It’s a 79-80, with, as far as i can tell from the paperwork ( which is extensive ) 58,000 miles. Spent it’s early years in Indo, owned by a Doctor, then bought by a Brit expat, who imported it here and then left it here when his wife wasn’t overly impressed with the U.K ( who can blame her, Preston over Lombok )

Welcome to the Mud(ness), your new home!
You've got a beautiful 40-Series Cruiser.
Impressed with the old 3spd gear box (instead of the usual 4spd in most markets at the time). You said it comes from the Indian market?

Indonesia. Bandar to be precise. Which I suppose makes it Japanese built.

Wow. Incredibly well preserved, congratulations. Is that radiator fan stock?

Cool non-electronic ignition and little/no smog equipment. Can you drive inside the ULEV zone?

 

[Nebula Thug]

Yep, ULEZ exempt as well as road tax and M.O.T if I don’t change too much

I don’t think so, I think the previous fella installed the Kenlow fan
