The Toyota 2000GT, chassis MF10-10050, is a right-hand-drive, first-series example built at the Yamaha factory on 26 July 1967 and finished in Pegasus White. One of only 337 produced between 1967 and 1970, it was developed jointly by Toyota and Yamaha to challenge European sports-car makers, featuring a twin-cam straight-six, five-speed transmission, and all-round disc brakes. Restored prior to importation from Japan in 2013, it has since served as a centrepiece of the Degenève Collection and appeared at European historic-vehicle events.
