I’m just going to get right to the point on this distressingly (and distractingly) gorgeous February day in the great Pacific Northwest – as long as the bodycount was ultimately less than 10 and none of my limbs were required to be sacrificed, I would do nearly anything to get my hands on a Toyota 2000GT like the one for sale in the Westfalen region of Germany. And red’s not even my favorite color.

Interestingly enough, white was both the most common color on the slinky and deceptively tiny sportscar from Toyota, and it is also my favorite. It just shows how wonderful the lines are on the 2000GT that both white and red come of as being appealing.
Usually, red attracts attention without necessarily highlighting the best features of a design. When you’ve got a F355 that might be a good thing – and hopefully the retina-searing color will blind you to repair bills. But it’s no mark against this particular GT, and it even wears the chrome spoked rims fairly well. I’d take the original knock-off dark mags (compare with this BAT offering), but you can’t win ’em all.

Actually, on closer inspection there’s a lot that is sort of off-putting about this particular example. What’s going on with that heinous faux-RAZO shift knob? Why the obnoxious Castrol decals on a clearly street-going vehicle? Where in the name of everything good and pure in this world did those hideous seats come from? You know what, mein deutscher Freund? Let’s knock off, say, 180,000EUR from the price in consideration of these starkly offensive elements and call it good! Just ring my banker for a money transfer. He’s in Nigeria – incidentally, he’s also the banker for the Prince! Now, let’s get it into a shipping container post haste.
