2 Down Under
The BJ was issued mainly to the Japanese Civilian Police patrols apparently.
Thiess Brothers Contracting imported two of them to test and work on the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric scheme long before they brought in the first Land Cruisers.
Of this two BJs, one was discovered on a station a few years ago but was almost immediately bought up and added to a Toyota museum in the USA.
That leaves the other still out there somewhere for me to one day find !
Well, wishful thinking. I do have a 1/16 scale diecast model of one in the Police Grey livery to keep me satisfied until then.
Cheers
Phill
