From the second largest Japanese manufacturer, to the largest; Toyota. No point in spouting a whole lot of nonsense, you known the deal by now and as such, here’s some vehicles for your perusal.  First up, not a HiAce, not a LiteAce but… a miniAce!

Not your average Ace

FIRE FIRE! WOO!

1986 Toyota Landcruiser Fire Vehicle @ 200,000JPY

The fire-truck is sweet just because it’s all hacked up weird like, though obviously official and all.  Would make a good safety vehicle for a race track or some such.  Small rural area first response vehicle perhaps.  Plenty of options.

All of these, by comparison to the Nissan’s I featured are cheap as chips!  Probably due to the volume of production and the model selection chosen.  Though I would be curious to know what kind of coin a Crown Ute fetches.  Conversions to NZD are as follows;

miniAce; $6,150NZD

Crown Wagon; $12,250NZD

Corolla; $6,700NZD

Landcruiser; $3,500NZD

Enjoy,
