3-door HJ60?

Never did I see this before, is it a factory 3-door van or self built?
(for sale in Italy).....

I'm pretty sure custom, haven't ever seen one even in the anniversary Land Cruiser book of a few years ago, and I saw all sorts of models I had never seen before.

It looks well done in the pictures, but not sure why you would do it. It would make access in the back a bit more cumbersome.

I guess it's a 'tax thing'...being a true van, you'll pay less road tax.

Best explanation I can think of. A bunch of EU states have quirky tax breaks like that. I think Ireland is another one.

boy, does that look terrible. maybe if they would have made a true panel van out of it, but the rear door windows really clash without the door seams. yuck.
