HJ60 Sahara.

The record

Toyota Australia introduced the Sahara grade on the 60 Series in 1985 above the GXL and Standard, and the name has topped the 80, 100, 200 and 300 ranges. The 60 Sahara had the 2H diesel or 3F petrol with the full equipment list of the time.

Research status: draft — identification, dates or figures could not all be pinned down; the summary says what is unresolved.

AI rendering impression

An AI rendering impression starts from a 3D model of this vehicle, which an image model then paints into a scene. It is an artist's impression of the type, made to give a feel for the vehicle in its element — not a photograph, and not a record of any particular vehicle.

Proportions, fittings, markings, colours and the setting can all drift from the original in the process. For the vehicle's actual details, rely on the specification, the photographs and the cited sources on this page.
