Toyota is set to expand its GR Heritage Parts Program, with its Gazoo Racing performance wing announcing it is to remanufacture parts for the LandCruiser 40 series.

The move forms part of Toyota’s celebration of the LandCruiser’s 70th birthday, which also includes some special editions of the 70 series LandCruiser announced earlier this week.

At this stage there is no exact parts list of what will be reproduced, but in its statement, Toyota said the program will include “engines, drivelines, and exhaust systems.”

According to the carmaker, parts sold will be “related to the critical functions of driving, turning, and braking for the 40 Series LandCruiser.”

Toyota expects the parts will be available from the beginning of 2022, with the company preparing a questionnaire whereby LandCruiser owners can submit their wish-list of the reproduction parts they’d like to see made available.

Toyota said “this feedback will be used in the selection of the next parts to be reproduced.”

Owners of later-model LandCruisers won’t need be left out either, as Toyota states: “In addition to the 40 Series, the company intends to discuss reproduction of parts for later generations of the model.”

The 40 series LandCruiser will be the fourth car to have parts reproduced by Toyota, the company already remaking parts for the A70 and A80 Supra along with the highly valuable 2000 GT.
