Summary

The Toyota 2000 GT is one of the most sought-after Japanese sports cars in the classic car segment. It was not only James Bond who enjoyed it, but collectors all over the world. The car was extraordinarily advanced with a six-cylinder in-line engine with two overhead camshafts, a central tube frame and independent suspension. But the car arrived too early for the market; only 337 cars were sold. Despite the good facilities.

Preview (beginning of the article)

Not so long ago, in 1985, you and I would have called it a desecration if a Japanese car ever bore the title "classic". Today, I can name a dozen cars from Japan that may not be among the most sought-after in the world, but still have something interesting to offer the enthusiast with a vision of the future. May I list them? The Daihatsu Spider 1000 (1968), the Datsun Sport 1600 and 2000 (1968, looking like the MGB), the Datsun 240 Z in its original form (from 1970), the Honda 1300 with air cooling (1969) and of course the S800 (from 1967), the original Mazda 110S Cosmo with Wankel engine (1968) or the small Toyota Coupé Sports 800 (1968), which was unknown in Europe. The later sporty variants of the Japanese models that have since become famous will certainly also become collectors' cars one day; however, the most interesting are the special models intended only for the Japanese market and not exported to Europe or America.
