Hi all, somewhere on this crappy little island we live in there must be someone with a 2000GT... i've love to see one but i guess the chances are slim at any UK shows.. has anyone ever seen one in the flesh or know someone whos got one?

Cheers

I'm sure I read somewhere recently that there are none in the UK anymore the last one being shipped overseas in the late nineties, I'll have to try to remember where I read it. :(

Actually there's a motor museum up north called cars of the stars which has a replica convertable like the one in the James Bond film You only live twice

Don't know if its road worthy though

[TheNissanMan]

could be worth a toyota meet :)

Our workshops did some restoration work on one some years ago. Looked lovely.

They were built by Yamaha if my memory serves me correctly.

That wouldnt supprise me. My cylinder head is built by Yamaha.... they prob. did the engine, but dont know about the whole car...

Their are non in the toyota enthusiasts club, but some do come here for meets etc as far as ive herd.

The shape of the last generation of Supra looks not too-dissimilar to the style of the red 2000 GT.

YOU can see a resemblance. :P

Anyway I want one......

[TheNissanMan]

I wonder what a good condition 2000GT would cost these days....

[gordypix]

Your mission, should you choose to accept it: B)

To find the owner of one (or more) of these beauties and introduce him/her to TOC. Tell them to bring photos.

Eyes open everyone.

How many GT's can you fit in one car park...

[Carlgolsby]

there's some money's worth there! :o

the original 2000gt, had the same 1g engine as fitted to the IS200....albeit the is200 has a vvti head

[toymota16v]

I think the white convertiable in the Bond movie was built especially for the film so it could be the only convertable ever built by the factory

[toyotasera.co.uk]

It was built so that Mr. Bond could be seen.
