This 1967 Toyota 2000GT looks perfect in white and is said to be an early model with last three chassis digits “050”. Extracting cars from Japan is often said to be more difficult than in other countries, but it can be done. We recently learned of this video series from some young Aussie guys that went there with interest in exporting a car. We are now totally convinced that having a local agent is well worth the price. Find it here on in a Yahoo.JP classified ad for 34,900,000 Yen (today ~$423k). Special thanks to Japanese BaT reader Skorji for this submission!

This car always looks perfect in white, and we especially like the fender mirror placement and the gunmetal gray alloy wheels on this example. It is sometimes lost in photos, but last time we looked at one in person we were especially struck by the degree that the windscreen is wrapped around the car and the delicacy of the slim little a-pillars. It is crazy.

We have never been schooled on the red slash rear plates in Japan. Can someone enlighten us? They remind us if the speed limit ended signs in Europe. The center exhaust in these cars is slick, and we think must have been learned from the E-type, but improved upon. Cool details abound.

The car is shown in a few parked locations, but none of them seem to be a dealer, so this might be a private party car. That loud yellow floor mat is our only gripe, and is about a 30-second fix. We love this engine with its small displacement and tall cam cover. We must admit that we think Alfa Romeo when we see this layout, even with carbs on the opposite side. Who was the first to sell an engine that had twin cams and plugs down the center in this classic format?

The ultimate dream would be to have a car like this to keep in Japan to explore the country. These days, with the cost of this model, that might not be so outlandish for someone who can afford one. Fly into to Tokyo and have your 2000GT waiting in the garage of your high-rise apartment? Yeah, at that point Bond can probably keep his Aston. We’ve found a better offer.
