We do see them every now and then here in the UK. Probably because importing all sorts of cars from Japan is very common for a RHD country with very few import laws. Also, a lot of streets here are also very narrow so I can only agree, they are rather large things but very very cool.

The need to own one of these increases by the minute, the ability to afford one decreases by the second😂

Prices of the V12 ones that are legal for the USA are not that cheap. The older V8 ones are cheaper but they are getting older and harder to find in good condition.

The perfect cars that are legal to import to the states have quadrupled in price. Sadly over the next few years the production numbers of cars that were made is very low so it’s not going to get any better any time soon

3:12 you definitely thought there was a V12 badge🤣 Amazing cars, very rare sight so the new owner is a very lucky boy indeed.

That car looks really comfortable!

I've got the cassette player from one of these, definitely a dream car.

I think those are actual... wing-mirrors :) thought this thing is going to Orlando for a second... EDIT: Leather tends to "squiek" more when the car gets older, and is generally less desireable in the heat, other than wool. And it wont look like so extremely worn out like this one does

Hey Derek no way ))) just what I want v12 power thanks for the video 😀 👍

My brother used to have a Nissan President with that back seat feature where you can stick your feet through the front seat.

Cicada season in Japan, very nice Crown!

Awesome car.

Are they changing the oil in the transmission fluid taking care of these things

Derek. What’s that weird noise in the background? Sounds like an insect or two. Great vid The Stepwgn spada you sent us earlier this year is on the road here in the uk. It’s spot on cheers.

Bench versus bucket seats. Usually refers to front seats and floor shifter or column shift etc

I think that in this case it means like in other luxury cars like the s class or rolls royces that the back seats are a bench that can seat 3 instead of 2 captain chairs separated by a center console.

20:45 lmfao this remark was so unexpected that I burst out laughing. Haircut looks good!

Crowns and Crown Majestas also sometimes have the stinky feet seat option.

how did it get the insurance?

What's a 97 v12 Toyota 5.0 get for fuel economy? How much torque does it have. Facinating video. That would of been a mind blowing ride in 97

Not terrible, around 10-12L/100 for the 4 speed model. Marginally better for the 6 speed.

03:40 Derek's ベンチシート confusion: If you're a boomer like me, car advertising copy in the 1960s and 1970s touted "bench seats" (can sit 3 across and your date-chan could slide over in a romantic mood) vs. the sportier "bucket seats" (only seats two, separated by the tranny tunnel). I think even the classic Mustangs had a bench seat option to carry more people! This was before everyone got a frickin SUV with obnoxious carrying capacity for your family.

Nice car maybe not the best condition century to showcase as these are known for its prestigious paint and flawless interior. I bet even in that condition someone will pay top dollar .

Wouldnt it be nice if Toyota would just make a decent vehicle again. I'm sooooooo tired of their Americanized crap. The 4 runner is one of the only high quality units still available 100% made in Japan, and they are trying to ruin it with the next generation.
