Not quite sure why this is found under "Lexus" on preloved site. If you can stay awake its an interesting car I suppose. Looks something like a Russian project build. Whitewall tyres added by owner and Wing mirrors from the sixties? Nice?

Not being that knowledgeable on cars after the Seventies I admit I'd never heard of this marque.

V12 chain driven is a plus, but interior not to my taste.

Any lovers of this car?

The 'Royal' edition is the only car I have ever known that has literal granite in the interior. the engine is stuff of legend, and does indeed make a good noise.

A search of 1GZ-FE on youtube will have both examples of it's linear power curve and loud exhaust capabilities, if you're silly enough (like me) to watch that sort of thing.

I'm conflicted on these. I want one; an LS turned up a notch in every area.

But it was definitely designed as a car to be driven in rather than one to drive, so it probably wouldn't be much fun except as a curio to take to car shows.

I just love big Jap cars, Crowns, Laurels, Legends, 300C, LS, etc, etc, and have owned plenty of them since the late 70s.

Not surprising I suppose, considering my dream car is a 59 Caddy.

Sadly, few people in the UK have the same taste, and a lot of cars from Japan never make it over the water, so are rare indeed...........shame!

That ticks all my boxes! If I had money to waste on toys, that would be in my toy box.

I see there's another white convertible one on eBay.

Dear God, I think I'm in love!

Here's the link, and make sure you view the 6 minute video clip of the making of the car.
