Market commentary

The passion for FJs is visible in this immaculately, better-than-new, restored example, with attention to detail worthy of a V-12 Ferrari. Immensely capable offroad, it would almost be a shame to subject it to rocks, dust and mud, but that is its highest and best use. FJ prices are hugely variable with the very best, like this, bringing high five-figures (and sometimes even more.) It makes a restored Land Rover look a bargain.
