Capt Bradford-San thank you for the tour of this amazing museum! I have always loved the Toyota 2000 GT. Truly a classic sports car! The 2000 GT is also a James Bond car appearing in the spy film “You Only Live Twice”. The unique fact is that in the film Bond drives a convertible version of the 2000 GT - except Toyota never made a convertible for public sale. Toyota did actually built two custom 2000 GTs for the film cutting the roof off due to the low sloping roof line so that Sean Connery could fit inside and be seen on camera driving it. Toyota bought one of the two convertibles back and it’s located in one of their museums in Japan today.
your videos always upload late at night for me which is great because it gives me time to watch another amazing video made by you and your crew, absolutely love your content, please keep making more :D
Bro, thank you for yet another great video with great content and great presentation. 👏👏👏 more more please. 😃🤤 JDM Masters is climbing up and up. 🤘👍😊🙏🏻 💓
Yesssssss it's effin free!!!! They didn't show the café which has a lot of motorsports memorabilia and books as well, maybe you can sneak in into what are they restoring in the garage, plus, if you wanna test drive an 86 you just need a international drivers license and you're set!
Good content & cool video. Keep up the good work bro. By the way your English speaking quite awesome for a Japanese & knowledge on car history is superb.
Found your channel a few days ago and loving the videos! Sometimes glare makes it really difficult to see the interior of the cars through the windows, in the instances where you can't open the doors (such as these museum cars). My suggestion would be picking up a polarizer filter for your lens. They aren't very expensive and can vastly reduce the glare for the interior shots through glass. You can rotate the polarizer on the lens while mounted to cut light/glare from different light sources/the sun. Keep up the good work!
way back in the day (late 70,s) I looked at a shop manual, and one of the engines was a reverse blue print of the Alfa Romeo 1600 and 2000 cc wet liner blocks
got news for you,the 2000 GT was a reverse blue print,twin cam chain drive, based on the Alfa, the Datsun 510 and 240 260 Z engines are a copy of Mercedes
Love love love your channel. If possible please do a full episode in the best ever out of Japan the LFA and LFA NR. Just so much to that story that if could take a full episode and still not cover all the details. Toyota really deserves some serious lime light on this project that still is unknown in the car world blinded by just HP figures and not overall package that shows mastery.
I'm a huge fan of your work JDM Masters! Please please please can you do episodes on the: Mitsubishi FTO Version R 1997 - 2000 in Manual AND Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo 1996 - 2000 Please bring awareness to the world for these underrated gems by Mitsubishi.
Reminds me so much of the Corolla shape but with what looks like taillights similar to those of a Mazda RX3...very slick styling for those times ✌🏽 16:48
An awesome collection and well presented. Just what i expect, and receive from Japan-ese peoples. The 2000 GT i have seen once for life at a Toyota agency. As the owner died they "passed" the whole collection of cars to Toyota Deutschland. You could name this collection as the 2nd Toyota Museum. So many cars.
Famous but i miss the Toyota Century. Is there a way for a revival of this range - also on driving - Cap Bradford? I like GT-R's Supra RX's NSX but luxury cars like Efini or President? And the toy cars and actual small box vans.
Jaguar has been in sports cars for about as long as Lotus was in F1. The history of British green goes further back though. See: Gordon Bennett Cup and British Racing Green on Wikipedia.
@@dumkopf This is true i am not denying that, what i am saying is Lotus is the most famous of all the companies to use it because of their f1 success. Before Lotus england was a running joke in F1
The car collection at Odaiba is probably one of the best car related things to see in Tokyo. Not sure how accessible spoons shop is, but if not for that, I would say it's number 1.
Shelby and Toyota screwed Pete Brock, designer of Shelby's Daytona Cobra Coupe, out of a deal Brock had with Toyota to develope a racing program for the 2000 GT in the US. Upon becoming aware of what had transpired Brock declared “I wanted to race against Shelby and blow his ass off.” He then went on to do a deal with Datsun, initially having great success with the Fairlady 2000 roadster and then the P510 sedan and 240Z sportscar. Despite Toyota throwing half a million dollars at Shelby back in the day, the 2000GT never qualified for national competition in the US and Toyota quit racing for the next ten years.
Luke Sinsuan ‘Toyoda’ is the family name spelling and pronunciation of the family that started and owns ‘Toyota’ motor company. They changed it to ‘ta’ because in Japanese ‘トヨダ’ takes 10 strokes. Rizabuto Toyoda preferred ‘トヨタ’ as it leaves out the last 2 notch strokes, making it simpler to write (8 strokes which is a lucky number in Japan / China) and ‘ta’ is non voiced and therefore clearer sounding consonant compared to a harsher sounding ‘da’.
14:29 This Soarer is MZ11, not MZ12 and also it has 5MGEU 2.8 engine instead of 7M "2.7". Very strange that it was written on the tablet . Anyway thanks for a great videos! Greetings from Russia and Ukraine!
please review mitsubishi evolution 6 tommi makinen edition sir..cause when i search on youtube or google dont have much detail on that car..i hope u can review that car someday🖒anyways good job sir..all your video was awesome....
not anymore ,,not even close the zed has out auctioned the toyota gt 10 fold,,,,,just this year alone two zed one sold for over $200k another $136k nut and bolt restored,,,end of last year $800k a 432 sold for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nut and bolt restored zed will be $100k plus now
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU, China and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county. From 2027 on in the EU certain car spare parts will be banned too....as exhaust systems, turbo chargers and even some engine and gearbox oils...California and New York will do the same from 2027 on.... So no investments should be done in oil burning cars any longer....They even created a new kind of crime here, called emissions and smoke criminality......
432 - 4 valves (Not cylinders), 3 carburators, 2 camshafts. Nice video.
4Trouble yes. You are right. 4 valves. Slip up at the time trying to think too hard. Thanks

Very cool. Thanks for the info! 🙂
A true James Bond fan would know that. I am also a huge James Bond and car fan.
They should build them again - Toyota GT 20
Yea if you are 6ft or taller you wont fit in a 2000gt
sam newman yep
I’d be looking like the Hunchback of Notre Dame in there! Funny thing is my 1991!Honda CR-X has loads of head room in it!
This channel is amazing you put so much work in to everything and keep up the good work

I have a couple of those AUTOart 1/18 Toyota 2000 GT’s one coupe and one convertible. The details are amazing, just like the real car.
This place is nice. And its free.
Yesssssss it's effin free!!!! They didn't show the café which has a lot of motorsports memorabilia and books as well, maybe you can sneak in into what are they restoring in the garage, plus, if you wanna test drive an 86 you just need a international drivers license and you're set!
@@sakaralakabar i wasnt able to do the test drive since its already going to close. But the diecast collection is real nice as well.
Good content & cool video. Keep up the good work bro. By the way your English speaking quite awesome for a Japanese & knowledge on car history is superb.
That 2000GT is heavenly. $1mil

Stood next to that very car. Love that museum.
Cruising around RUclips and found your channel, very clear and informative, well done.

Amazing video, you literally can touch Toyota 2000GT there is no warning in their glasses! XD XD
I'm a huge fan of your work JDM Masters!

Mitsubishi FTO Version R 1997 - 2000 in Manual
AND
Mitsubishi GTO Twin Turbo 1996 - 2000
Please bring awareness to the world for these underrated gems by Mitsubishi.

Lost count the amount of times I’ve been there. I hope the team downstairs finished the Bnr32 restoration
You should visit rocky auto , opera performance , power house amuse and star road you will be surprised
great video, thank you
Checked this out for the 2000gt but so many other cool cars here!
Aye yes the "people's car" definitely one of the most iconic cars ever the VW Beatle is a beautiful example of simplicity and efficiency.
12:08 is 1000% far much better than a 2020 BMW supra.
A number of cars and bikes have history because of World War II a ver bad and sad time but it bring a number of historic cars and bikes.
@18:48 Thanks for the SW20 TRD 2000GT look! I need to visit this place!!!
I used to own a 1983 Soarer GZ10
I can't believe he skipped the Honda Cub!
Japonic Team
I'm not sure why I just got the notification for this video today? Its 4 days old already!
Can you review a Bugeye STI please? I want one.
one of my friends used to have an s12 silvia hatchback that we nicknamed the delorean because it had a super cool 80s digital dash
That Toyota 2000GT is nice and a good car.

Watched it all! Great tour. Your accent Cap'n Bradford?
Damn. I lived up the road in Nagoya in the late 90s. Can’t believe no one told me about this!
Soon as I saw the Lotus, I ASSUMED it was Jaguar because of that "British Green" colour lol
Lotus is the most famous british car company for british racing green due to F1. Jaguar didn't compete in f1 until the year 2000
Jaguar has been in sports cars for about as long as Lotus was in F1. The history of British green goes further back though. See: Gordon Bennett Cup and British Racing Green on Wikipedia.
@@dumkopf This is true i am not denying that, what i am saying is Lotus is the most famous of all the companies to use it because of their f1 success. Before Lotus england was a running joke in F1
Toyota 2000 GT Is my Drean car
Man, this is amazing. Where is this museum btw?
I remember back in the day when Toyota actually made their own sports cars, those were the days.
Pretty sure it’s the 432R that has the same engine as the Hakosuka GT-R
Ng Puay Seng 17:42
i had one of lancer evo v tomica limitd vintage neo and the details look so sick man
What's a Delarey..... DeLorean saying way wrong.
The car collection at Odaiba is probably one of the best car related things to see in Tokyo. Not sure how accessible spoons shop is, but if not for that, I would say it's number 1.
I didn't know this until recently but Carol shelby helped design the 2000gt
Shelby and Toyota screwed Pete Brock, designer of Shelby's Daytona Cobra Coupe, out of a deal Brock had with Toyota to develope a racing program for the 2000 GT in the US.

Was "Toyoda" the original english spelling?

@@visionenippon-captbradford9344 thanks man!
13:33 Oh Yes 😍😍😍
Bought a Nismo R32 scale model at that store last year!
That impala windshield are so 60s
very informative
YES!! James Bond
14:29 This Soarer is MZ11, not MZ12 and also it has 5MGEU 2.8 engine instead of 7M "2.7". Very strange that it was written on the tablet
.
Anyway thanks for a great videos! Greetings from Russia and Ukraine!
Is there an online site where I can purchase that Subaru book? 🤭
I was here in 2015 and the 2000GT was just sitting outside the cafe in storage like it didn’t matter 😂
please review mitsubishi evolution 6 tommi makinen edition sir..cause when i search on youtube or google dont have much detail on that car..i hope u can review that car someday🖒anyways good job sir..all your video was awesome....
I wonder if "Speed Racer" car was based on this 10:14
RapidFire Muzik™ honestly i know right
Notice how the 2000gt has almost same doors as the FD rx7 with the curve
Do you guys have any information on 70s or 60s jdm cars. (sedans).
Respect
you pronounced the "de-lori-an" interestingly.
Pronounciation of DeLorean is weird but otherwise cool video
not anymore ,,not even close the zed has out auctioned the toyota gt 10 fold,,,,,just this year alone two zed one sold for over $200k another $136k nut and bolt restored,,,end of last year $800k a 432 sold for,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,nut and bolt restored zed will be $100k plus now
No Celica TA22? :-(
“1st true super sports car” you guys only have 2 or 3. this r35 gtr and LFA. yes, any more?
I wonder why they don't sell 2000GT?
Sadly from 2030 on all combustion cars including classics will be banned from public streets in entire EU, China and Scandinavia :-( In Germany the Green Peoples Party gave order to shorten fuel supply from 2025 on by reducing all conventional fuel stations to only one state operated central gas station per city or county.

The drugs in the 60s are much better and inspiring.
Pause the video and press 0 lol
Dino’s are neither rare nor lesser known and now command massive $$
No wonder he is called "JDM Masters". The guy sucks at talking about European cars.
