One of less than 20 made in Atlantis Green: have you ever seen one before? Yes, you can buy it in Japan. Weird aircon position

I recall a local Toyota dealer and touring car racer had a red one in Sydney, back in the day. There are the two white ones chopped for *You Only Live Twice*.

I think red is the hero colour.
I can’t recall ever seeing one in ***this*** colour!

Apparently only 62 were made in LHD. Unsurprisingly, many original owners seem to be racers who owned Toyota dealerships.

Another Sydney car dealer bought a silver 1967 (pic 10) for full restoration, shown in this story: https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1130118_1967-toyota-2000gt-sells-for-912-500-while-another-is-discovered-in-a-sydney-garage

That story noted the restored LHD American one in red sold for $912K (pic 11). Striking silhouette pic.
A Japan asking price for the Atlantic Green of ¥125M sounds reasonable.

It’s not mentioned if the paint is original.

    One of my top favorite cars of all time, such beauty.

    I never noticed those turn signal lights in the rear side before. The parcel area looks sweet too!

    Toyota has a red one in their museum in California. Your eyes just linger on that car.

    Absolutely outstanding, a truly timeless design. Imagine the same company makes the RAV4 snoozefest.
