Toyota Crown/Cressida/Landcruiser 1964-2006
Toyota’s Crown arrived in Australia during the 1960s as a 1.9-litre four-cylinder and can now be found in ultra-luxurious trim with a V8, diesel or twin-turbo six. Prices for pre-1987 Crowns rarely exceed $10,000 but the V8 Century now reaches $20,000. For a lush and affordable ‘family classic’, track down an MX83R Cressida.
These arrived locally in 1989 and Grande versions in top condition can cost less than $10,000. Earlier 2.8-litre Cressidas hover around $6000. Landcruisers in some parts of the global market have become hideously expensive, however in Australia they are still regarded as a rugged old mud-plugger.
Available money for restored FJ40 short-wheelbase versions currently tops out at around $50,000.
