Its only got a 7MGE, but it drives ok with it. Not a dragster but at least it doesnt appear to have a blown headgasket....
Basic specs are-
Airbag suspension with aftermarket height controller. Pics show it at "normal" height, I can drop it at least a further 2" if I want.
Electric front and rear seat adjustment
Seperate front/rear aircon and stereo controls
Satellite navigation
8 speaker stereo incl subwoofers
Fridge in rear parcel deck
Electric boot release, in the door ffs? Quarantine couldnt open the boot lol, they couldnt find switch.
Then theres the usual plethora of buttons everywhere.....

shhhhhhhh........ The seller removed the height controller before he sold it (ass) so the electronics went a bit bonkers for the height and the front went real low whilst the rear went real high. As a consequence you couldnt get your foot under the front spolier and the tow truck drivers had huge trouble loading it on their trucks. I ended up collecting it from the clearancing company myself, drove nice though rather loud...

Is it a MS137 or later.
Looks Bloody nice I'm still deciding wether to trade the pimping 68 crown in for a real late model one. Seeing those picks makes me want to
Have fun cruiseing man and getting the "What the F##K Is that!!!"

with the exception of the mags, body-kit and aftermarket height controller the car is factory.
I imported it from Japan, Tokyo region. Pretty hard to find one let alone one at a decent price. Its an MS137 as mentioned and was built 11/88. Nav is factory so didnt cost me anything, even got a Toyota map CD for Japan so I can cruise the streets over there......
