2000GT

Was scanning thru the forum here and could not find any pics of the 2000GT.

The old man was lucky enough to have the car for the weekend so I decided to pop around and take some pics.

Seemed a pity not to share them around so here's a few snaps (taken last Saturday 05/05).

Enjoy :)

More info on the car. :)

The Toyota is part of a larger private collection owned here in Adelaide. It sits in a warehouse amongst other ultra rare classic cars like Fezzas, Astons, BMWs. Each car gets out once or twice a year - which really is'nt enough as they're all in need of a good hard blat. This extremely low mileage 2000GT is in great condition. Everything is original on the car and nothing has been changed / modified. Driver and passenger space is minimal ( I mean really tight - obviously designed for the Japanese market). It still drives remarkably well.

The cars current worth is around the Au$400k mark.

whats with the proportions on the 2000gt

something about the distance between the windscreen and the front wheel

Most roadster/sports-cars of that era had the driver seat pratically on the rear axle. I like that look, it's very vintage. It always reminds me of the e-type Jag. If you look at the wheel base relative to the Esprit S4 you'll notice they are about the same. I'm guessing engineers of that time tried to offset the weight of the front-mount engine by seating the driver as far back as possible. I imagineiIt would be a weird feeling driving as the nose rakes around the corner way before the driver feels the inertia of the turn. anyway, that's a beautifully maintained example of the 2000GT.
