Nice, and there's a link to the estate version that's up for 4.5k opening bid, which is even nicer imo.

........... but the Crown estate has a 2.5ltr Yamaha engine !!! ............. the saloon is a 3ltr engine

Yes, I noticed that and googled it.

The result on Wiki was a bit vague, but apparently Yamaha were involved with the cylinder head design.

I've always loved the large Japanese stuff, and estate cars in general, so combine the two and I'm happy!!

Always fancied an estate version of the LS, but would want the 4litre engine with it.

Nice - but as we know the Crown hasn't been part of the UK lineup for some time. (I always liked the Super Saloon though; zero street cred so all the more for me!)

I know someone that had one of the early '70s Crown estates, and it kept stalling. It turned out that, at that time, Toyota were painting the insides of their fuel tanks, with inevitable consequences when it started to flake off!

(Perhaps that's why this one's on LPG - LOL!)

Nice rare big Jap motor. Very LS400esque.

I like it, strange that a Japanese import is being sold here in the UK with the seller having a Romanian email address,free EU trade eh.

Engine is a VVTI so which type is this?

Looks like the seller specialises in LPG looking at the feedback.

Very few JDM cars had leather due to the heat and many lack a sunroof for the same reason.
