Famous American actor Tom Hanks is getting rid of several of his cars. Among them is the non-traditional Toyota Land Cruiser.

Hanks is selling three cars from his garage in an auction to Bohnams, all of which will be auctioned on August 13 – without a reserve. All cars are also signed by the actor.
The vehicles at the auction complement the actor’s caravan, which we wrote about recently.

There is even one car on offer related to the stylish Airstream. The 2011 Ford F450 Super Duty Crew Cab Lariat Pickup was purchased by Hanks as a machine that will pull the caravan. In the end, however, he didn’t drive much, there are less than 5,000 miles on the odometer, ie less than 8,000 km.
Under the hood works a large, 6.7-liter diesel eight-cylinder with a maximum output of 298 kW and a maximum torque of 1085 Nm
The Tesla Model S P85D model year 2015 is made of a completely different dough. The actor and his wife used it mainly to travel around Los Angeles and its surroundings. The ramp is again relatively low, only 13,445 miles (about 21,638 km). The color design is interesting, as the body got a custom green paint. Dark green is supposed to be Hanks’ favorite color.

The third car in the auction is certainly also the most interesting. This is a Toyota Land Cruiser of the FJ40 generation, which, however, deceives the body a bit. Under the classic body, it hides relatively modern technology.
The drive is provided by a 4.3-liter six-cylinder L35 petrol engine from General Motors, specifically in the version for the model year 2000 with an output of 134 kW. The engine is mated to a modern five-speed manual transmission (also originally from GM).
However, other equipment was also rejuvenated and the brakes, chassis and steering were also improved. Of course, there is no lack of all-wheel drive. The cabin received air conditioning, new seats and an improved audio system.
And the prices? Bonhams estimates that Ford and Tesla can sell for amounts between CZK 1,500,000 and CZK 2,200,000, and Land Cruiser for CZK 1,600,000 to CZK 2,700,000.
