Toyota 2000GT on BAT

[chrisvega]

Not many cars I would swap an S30 for but for this one I'd make an exception.
Simply stunning !

$400k atm! There are no words ... apart from lush ...

Loved my Celica TA22 back in the 80s but this.........

Honestly, I would rather have a 2000GT recreation based upon an S30 'cos I could never afford a real one.

Like that white one done a while back BUT with a Nissan DOHC n/a engine - an RB20 would suffice.

WTF!

 

[SeanDezart]

If I had to choose between being without ('cos I can't afford one) and having a recreation I could afford, I'd choose the latter.

That's very nice! Shame it's a left hand drive... might have been tempted otherwise.

She's a beauty.

So many stupid comments on Bring-A-Trailer. And the sales blurb doesn't even get the body stylist/designer's name right (it's Satoru Nozaki not "Saturo Nozak"). Useless.

I like all the comments about its value when it’s got a ‘small engine’.

Americans have got use to needing 6lts to need to achieve the same

Likewise !

 

[SeanDezart]

Oh get an edge - you wouldn't seriously refuse it in your garages guys because the wheel is on the correct side !

 

[johnymd]

Just do what the rest of us do. Buy a lefty 'cus it's cheap and convert to RHD. Cant be that hard as it's only an old Toyota. Wonder if a 3uz would fit?

It is very nice, but i'd still rather spend the money on several Datsun's rather than one Toyota

 

[chrisvega]

Unless money was no object, I don't think I would like to have that kind of sum in one single car.

It's a shame that this Toyota (like many high end classics) has not been cherished by an enthusiast over recent years and has only been used as an instrument of speculation. Sold 3 times over the last 3 years at US auction houses, each time gettting a lower return (epic fail lol).

I think this latest flip on BAT will probably see an end to the downward curve though.

Can only drive one car at a time though.

Worth less but I'd rather drive a 240Z everyday than the Toyota

 

[Woody928]

Simply stunning! It's a lot of money but peanuts in the greater scheme of things compared to other cars with production numbers that low.

You'd be able to steal the show wherever you went in that car, worth the money all day if you ask me. Just a shame it'll never be in budget like far too many of these icons....

 

[uk66fastback]

When I think of the 'future classic(s)' I could have bought with the £2500 I wasted on a rusty, soon-to-have-HGF Stag in 1986 ...

 

[Alphabettispaghetti]

The Toyota is just beautiful. It should be 'worth' the same something of that ilk thats made in Italy.

were they black engine bays from new?

 

[jonbills]

I'd possibly swap my Z for one. Not this one though, it's got Webers.
