Chelsea Truck’s Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series

Leaning into legacy (without overdoing it).

There’s something quietly defiant about the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series. A machine that’s barely changed since the mid-’80s and somehow feels more relevant now than ever (we’d say the same for the FJ Cruiser). This 2025 short-wheelbase build by UK-based Chelsea Truck Company leans into that legacy without overdoing it, layering on just enough attitude: Attitude Black paint, deep concave 20-inch Mondial forged wheels, and a subtle suspension tweak that keeps its go-anywhere stance intact. Underneath, it’s still the real deal with a ladder-frame chassis and a 4.0L V6, while the interior shifts the tone with tan leather, dark wood, a fridge, and just enough modern convenience to make it livable day-to-day. With only 390 miles and a price tag around $155,000 (£120,000, to be exact), this one-off Land Cruiser is less about necessity and more about owning one of the last true holdouts in a world that moved on.
