In the 1960s, Saturo Nozaki designed a sports car for Toyota, and soon, Yamaha and Toyota joined forces to develop and build Nozaki's design. It was planned as a low-volume, high-image car and drew inspiration from Jaguar's E-Type. The new car, dubbed the 2000 GT, was fitted with Toyota's basic iron-block inline 'six' from the Toyota Crown. It was given a new Yamaha-developed aluminum cylinder head with hemispherical combustion chambers and chain-driven dual overhead cams. Triple Mikuni-Solex carburetors and tubular headers helped elevate horsepower to 150 BHP, allowing the GT-class sports car to achieve speeds of 120 mph. Performance was enhanced with near-perfect weight distribution and a low center of gravity.
Racing versions soon appeared at the Japanese Grand Prix and one set Japan's first three FIA-sanctioned land speed records - all while the 2000 GT was still a prototype.
The 1967 Tokyo Motor Show saw the debut of the 2000 GT alongside the famous model/actress Twiggy, who returned to England with the gold 2000 GT show car afterward. The 2000 GT was later featured in the James Bond film, You Only Live Twice. Toyota supplied movie producer Albert R. 'Cubby' Broccoli with two prototypes from the 2000 GT development program for the movie.
From 1967 to 1970, just 337 examples were produced.
This example was bought by Japanese electronics company Denon in July of 1990 from its original owner in California. At the time of purchase, the car had just 3600 miles. In 2005, Japanese DMV records recorded 4,086 miles. In 2007, it had 5,255 miles and by 2009 it had just 7,634 miles. Currently, it has 12,542 miles.
The car was repainted in 2004; everything else remains completely original. It rides on reproduction alloy wheels but the original factory-delivered mags still remain with the vehicle. It has aftermarket air conditioning.By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2015
