1966 Toyota 2000GT - Jay Leno's Garage 

All except cabin space judging by Jay's driving position, he looks crampt as heck! I'm 6'3" so i'd be in simlar boat. But yeah - looks amazing, dual cam engine looks great, all that agreed.

@Archimedes They were designed around Japanese sized drivers. When Datsun hired an American to design the 240Z, they were flabbergasted at his demand for room for 6 ft+ tall drivers and passengers.

the exhaust manifolds are PERFECT for engine cooking. Snug a burrito in between the pipes, drive for about 20 km on the highway and it's done

Is anybody watched the film, "you only live twice."?

@@hueymontgomery9508 How can you live twice?

Humble and accurate?! Lol. It’s basically a one-off.

What an idiot.

Jeremy (the only reason I watch Top Gear, BBC...you a-holes) would look like Andre the Giant in this car.

Wow...he's a tall bugger! I hope he starts a new syndicated car show, and blows BBC off the ratings chart.

***** Respect! Good men, all.

+Anonymous On Amazon, I believe.

I'm a Prime subscriber. I'll be dialing it in. F**k the BBC.

that's still one hell of a feat to get permission for that parking lot. And probably only because he has the money cover it.

writerconsidered ....and he's Jay Leno. His car collection is world renown.

+CR2504life many of us don't even get to see one in real lol. Driving one is already hell of a priority!

+Jacky L. You're really important if you get permission to crash one!

+CR2504life Can you blame them?

Reading this - 4 years on from your comment - thank you for clearing up that mystery. As a sportscar fan and someone who thinks that the Toyota 2000GT is one of the best looking cars that Japan has ever produced (and even more remarkable considering how tacky some of the models were back then...) I did notice, during the movie, how the dashboard changed radically in some shots, but never knew why... until now... and thanks to you, for that. 🤝 They say that “knowledge is power” - so, now that I have this knowledge, I have obviously become very powerful..... 💪🤨 All that remains, therefore, is to decide what to do with my tremendous, new found power... 🤔 I think I’ll begin, by constructing my evil supervillain lair, hidden away, deep within the bowels of an extinct volcano, and - once that’s complete - I’ll hatch my plan to take over the world..... Thank you for giving me a new purpose in life. If I succeed in my plans for World Domination, there’ll always be a place for you in my Mega Crime Syndicate... 🤝

@@the5thmusketeer215 Knowledge is indeed everything, in the four years since I have found out that the studio car was in fact an Alfa Romeo 2600 and not the sunbeam alpine, if you google images of the alfa romeo 2600 you will see they match up, I'v edited my post accordingly.

@@christoph404 Thank you for updating me with *even more pertinent* knowledge, Chris... 😃👍 You see, my Brother is, in fact, a lifelong Alfa Romeo Petrolhead. Throughout his entire adult life, starting with the very first car he owned as a University Student (a 1600cc GT Junior) he has always owned sporty Alfa Romeos... often two at a time... He is so obsessed with them, that he constantly bombards me with Alfa Romeo trivia, oblivious to the fact that I’m not an Alfa nut, even though I do admire some of their classic models and a few of their contemporary ones also. This latest piece of arcane Alfa Romeo knowledge that you’ve shared, is definitely POWER in my hands, as I’m sure that he is not aware of this interesting tidbit, for the simple reason that - if he were - he’d have boasted about it long ago... Just like he recently mentioned (even though I already knew it) that Roger Moore drove an Alfetta GTV in Octopussy (my brother having owned two Alfetta GTVs at various times). Now that I KNOW this tidbit of Alfa Romeo trivia, which my Brother doesn’t know, I can subtly hint at it - while withholding the facts themselves, and not revealing enough information for him to research it himself...! This dastardly **withholding of vital Alfa Romeo trivia** from an incurable “Alfaholic” - can only increase my Supervillain Power exponentially... 🦾🤨 My Subterranean Lair can now be finished in HALF the time... I shall have to bring forward my plans for World Domination accordingly! Consider yourself promoted to Henchman in Chief (if you want the position) although, I warn you... If Bond Movies are anything to go by, the attrition rate for Chief Henchmen tends to be rather... high. Very close to 100% in fact... 🤔 And “cause of death” is generally something very gruesome and unpleasant. Sooooo... you might want to think it over before signing up. 😉

Nice! Yeah I’d much rather drive the Alfa tbh.

You are correct sir. 007 never drove in You Only Live Twice. He did show his fighter pilot skills in Little Nellie though.

she starts off driving him, when they arrive at their destination doesn't Bond get out the drivers side? as if they have switched around on route, or am I thinking of another Bond movie? but you are quite right that he does not appear to be driving it onscreen in the finished film, I suspect there were sequences filmed where he was driving that ended up on the cutting room floor, as they say. :-)

You are right- in addition it's the only Bond movie in which he never drives a land vehicle (though he does fly a helicopter, and pilot a boat)

BTW. Little Nellie is on display at the London Film Museum, Covent Garden. I almost broke out in tears when I saw it.

That’s right! No driving this car for Bond. He was a passenger only in the movie.

Le Leedler isn't that almost always the case?

totally agreed...

They go for $2-3M today, but he was talking about the original MSRP in today's money, I believe.

No. He was talking about the price of the engine alone.

What do you mean "they" there were only 2 made.

They- the coupes. The convertibles are not for sale. The one you see here is owned by Toyota museum- do yopu think they would sell? :-)

Yeah but that one's just sitting there this one's being driven

Yamaha also souped up my MR-2 Turbo in the 90's. They came out with a 2 liter putting out 200 HP. In 1989. Whatever Yamaha does they do do well.

Current ND MX5 is 5.3 inches wider than a 2000GT.

Or is it a Japanese take on a Triumph GT6 in full scale?
