Love sedan! Always love the shape. Plus the V12. Perfect combo.

Just by looking from the video, i can imagine how comfort that car is... the seat position, the ergonomics, no noise inside, except marcus, and no noticeable bumps, almost like it float on clouds... i mean.. damn..

I had my first CD player in high school and I dropped out of school in 1989 so CD's were around before you were even born . They just took an extra 15 years to show up in car's . Not long before digital music could be downloaded from Limewire .

Great video, cheers. I've always liked the Century, and the Crown too, which was a bit more accesible to the average driver, particularly in western countries. It's interesting that the V12 is quite small- usually a V12 would be at least a 6 litre, in most cases. I hope to own one someday! Keep up the great work. "-)

I had a Q45 once...1st gen. When i took it to get it inspected they tried to put the rollers on the front wheels. After arguing with the dude and basically telling him to look under the rear...he turned it around. After that he came to me and asked did i put a chip in it. I told him no. He then pointed to the sticker in the engine bay and then to a computer screen. The sticker said 276hp. The screen said 305hp.

Depends where you live! Either an exporter in Japan who you trust to place you car on a ship or an importer in your own city. Bid in the auctions is one way of going about it, then paying taxes once it lands, inspection (if necessary) and then registering/insuring it for the road. Brave Auto International and @Thebcroll on IG are two great options we've worked with in the past!
