Looks like an FJ45LV. They were a station wagon with forward facing rear
seat and rear doors, so not a Troopy. Would be around 1967.
The earlier FJ35 came out in 1957 and was the first station wagon and looks similar.

There is a more detailed page on the J40 models than the page I gave above at
Toyota Land Cruiser (J40)

My mistake yes station wagon NOT troopy .
The chap trasporting for new owner said it was No 17 "registered in Australia i guess "
1950 something? Fj45 or maybe fj35 ..not sure . He was telling me the interest that people had in it taking photos and also some taking photos as they were passing . The person that was going to be rebuilding it had their work cut out I would imagine for a long time it was a fair mess and lots of bits missing.

Peter,
Yes, the first Wikipedia link is a bit incomplete. Makes no mention of the FJ45LV that I can find. But second link mentions it.
Nick,
Pretty sure it is mid 1960's. It has the small tail lights under the headlights.
Have a browse through the gallery for this 1965 FJ45 and I reckon its pretty much identical apart from being LH drive.

Terrain Tamer had one that they partially restored about 10 years ago. I'll see if I can find photos.
I came close to buying one from someone at Glendambo many years ago, but resisted the temptation as it would be next to impossible to source the parts required.
EDIT: Found a link:

There wouldn't be many around I saw one last yr in a 4wd car yard it would be worth a bit done up. Similar to the FJ55 in style but better looking with the wider front guards.

Fj 28
I think this Cruiser is closer to the 1955 20 series judging by pictures in this link the 1960 model head lift up door handles also the LandCruiser in my picture has no air vents in front of the front door I noticed .
