Title: colour options
Post by: ChrisW on November 05, 2013, 02:32:48 PM
Hi all - not sure if this is the right section to post in - but here goes:

What colours were available in the 1984 FJ1100 ?   I have read online it was a one colour ( red/white) choice but where there any special order choices - was there a blue option?

seems an odd question but I'm looking at an 84 that is a blue white which looks like original paint.

Hello Chris, I am aware of 3 color options for the '84 FJ1100:

Red and Silver on the USA version:

Red and White on the Canadian and UK versions:

Actually....he didn't.....look at the Photo of his ID picture..... :good:


I am surprised though that they sent the Blue one to the EU and JDM instead of the States..... :scratch_one-s_head:

Thanks guys - I will get a proper look at it over the week end , I have only seen the arse end of it sticking out of a pile of junk in a shed - it looked blue but lighter the one in the picture ( could be my eyes at fault though!) .

I will take some photos when I have picked it up and found out what Ive got to work with - all I know at the moment is it is an 84, the gearbox is good and as he is in my MC he wants 'pennies' for it , so it looks ideal for an over winter restoration project.
