Wow Mat is smitten with this car, you can see the joy in his demeanour. Best of luck in your search Mat, amazing car to add to collection.

Matt should buy one for sure. My 2000 Lexus LS400 was easily the best motor I have ever owned. I bought it with 100,000 miles on it. I sold it because I moved abroad. It's still going strong with another owner with over 200,000 miles on it. It never let me down and drove smooth as silk. Quick too, -- 0 to 60 mph in less than 7 secs. I noticed a good few interior cabin parts on this Toyota Century were the same as in my LS. Great cars.

As a 2005 Lexus LS430 owner for the last 18 years - it was amazing to see how many parts and controls are shared with the Century. The sun visor over the rear view mirror for example and the pull handle in the boot - straight swaps! My latest LS430 which I’ve owned since 2012 is now 102,000 miles and as smooth as ever and everything works!

A few years ago I bought my first car at the age of 21 with my own money. It was a Toyota Corolla AE82 hatchback. I love this car to bits. It captures my youth perfectly and has so much centimental value as I learned how to drive in a Tazz. I would like to own a Toyota Century, it is definitely a trophy car for anybody who respects Toyotas and does not want to buy a Rolls-Royce

The placement of the mirrors on the front fenders really make a difference and offer better angles over the ones placed near the A pillar. We had a Toyota Crown (Royal Saloon) back in the late 70s, early 80s (maybe?) in Hong Kong when I was in my early teens. It was very plush, quiet, comfortable, and always had a certain smell. I was too young to appreciate it more, and spent all of my time in the back seat. I think it must be hard to stay awake driving it as it's super comfy, especially with the aircon in the tropics.

Great car a bit more respect for other man’s cars would be nice (with your shoes on the leather etc.) otherwise great this item. Usually I am not a big fan of aftermarket wheels but these fit the car very nice looks like factory and is a tasteful upgrade. Look forward of the story of buying and importing a century i hope you will rust proof the car in a good manner because the UK climate with the salt and bad road conditions is very hard on cars rust / corrosion wise.

That’s a REAL QUALITY vehicle. Almost magical. I can’t thank the deserving enthusiast enough. It was a real pleasure to learn all about this legend. In my opinion it’s better than a Rolls for the simple reason it is still fairly affordable. The drive experience seems to be in another world of its own. I own a 2008 S320 cdi LWB Mercedes Benz, black on black (3.0 turbo diesel V6) which on a recent almost 700 klm trip (still just under half a tank left) she averaged 7.5 Litres/100 klms, which is, of course much more fuel efficient than the V12… However, that Smooth as silk V12, absolute peaceful interior is more superior than the S class (which is fairly quiet anyway). I would prefer the Century any day with its understated opulence, even though I have German heritage and like my father and his father (mine OPA) owned diesel S class vehicles. As a fellow car enthusiast, I really enjoy and respect another like minded perfectionist. Top move on finding a practical yet highest quality air suspension solution. Thank you both

Hello Mr. Mat I am a car enthusiast living in Japan. Thank you for always praising Japanese cars I'm so happy you praised Century in this video Even from my Japanese point of view, that car is a strange car, and at the same time, I think it's a wonderful car. Japan's only 12-cylinder gasoline engine As you said, I think it would be very difficult to maintain in the UK. Even a car isn't cheap I think it's really hard to procure parts and repair. but i want you to ride The name of the car's color is also amazing. Its color is black, but it has names such as "Kamui" and "Eternal Black", and other colors besides black also have Japanese and English names. My favorite Century colors are "Zuiun" and "Dumire Blue Mica Metallic" It looks very beautiful when it gets wet in the rain with a light blue silver like the winter sky. Genuine wheels are hand carved Other than that, I want you to enjoy the comfort of the ride with the electric buttons and operation panel written in Japanese and the excessive quietness. If you want to ride, use the late model 6AT I'm looking forward to seeing you happily riding in that car.

Love rare cars. And a reliable Rolls is like a dream...

This car is gorgeous!! This vid reminds me of James from Throttle House, he also has a Century!!

Even with a relatively complicated V12 and so many features inside, its amazing that it all still works, toyota reliability i guess, if this were a mercedes of this age and mileage, half of the interior features wouldnt even be working anymore

A very original and rare pick. Do it Mat.

Big litter engine with a low horse power is what makes this car durable that can stand the test of time, it doesn't give the engine unnecessary stress.

Watch @effspot with the straight pipe century. Flipping insane!

They come new with a set of knitted doilies on the back seat headrests this is considered essential if you want one as a collector car.

I can imagine how comfy the ride is and it's even kidnappers friendly

They are 6-speed from 1/2005, and you can also get it with a column shifter, which is way edgier. I’d rather the wool seats too, not that the leather is bad.

Yes id go the 6-sp column shift version, having no gear lever just looks even weirder!

Must admit, the cool factor is off the chart with this one ♥️

Wow that looks really classy

I'm sure Mat the wife will love the Vibrating seat 🙂

Good job Mat, best budget luxury limusine.

Most important is that it’s reliable !

この車最高！This car was created and built way ahead of its time, a masterpiece of Japanese engineering. Such functions are still rare even in current expensive cars.

The small central sunvisor was there even on VW Golf 4, mister Watson!

James from Throttle House says "yes, buy it!"
