It's either a FJ40 or FJ45 (can't see which) Toyota Land Crusier, must be about the last one left that hasn't yet succumbed to rust.
They were a solid, thirsty, tough, crude but dependable device.
Toyota built their reputation on the KE series Corolla and the FJ series Land Cruiser, they've gone steadily down hill ever since.
The rubbish they make now has bells n' whistles but isn't a patch on the simplicity and purity of those old bugger's good industrial design.
