About the Toyota 2000 GT Cabriolet White James Bond Collection AUTOart 1:18
TL;DR: AUTOart's 1:18 diecast Toyota 2000GT Cabriolet in White reproduces the open-top version Toyota built specifically for the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice. The standard 2000GT was a coupe; this cabriolet variant only existed because the coupe's roofline couldn't accommodate a camera crew and Sean Connery's height together.
Roof removal for a film car usually means a stunt double or a body kit, but here it meant Toyota's engineers cutting the top off one of their most sophisticated cars purely to solve a filming problem.
AUTOart's Premium Take on a Genuine Film Rarity
AUTOart has built its reputation on premium diecast detail, and a subject this specific rewards that approach: the cabriolet's cut roofline, the reshaped windshield frame, and the low, elegant Yamaha-influenced bodywork all demand precise tooling to look intentional rather than crudely modified. The white finish, matching the film car's screen appearance, shows the 2000GT's long hood and pop-up-free headlight treatment cleanly, and panel gaps around the doors sit tighter than mass-market alternatives typically achieve, a real point of difference at this manufacturer's tier. The doors open to reveal a cabin styled with genuine period Japanese luxury detailing, since Toyota built the 2000GT as a genuine flagship sports car rather than a budget project, film car or not.
A Purpose-Built Film Car, Not a Modified Prop
Toyota reportedly built only two cabriolet 2000GTs specifically for You Only Live Twice, since the standard coupe's low roofline couldn't fit a camera setup alongside Sean Connery comfortably. That makes the cabriolet one of the more genuinely purpose-built film car variants in cinema history, rather than a modified stunt double dressed up for the screen.
A Standout Piece for Film Car or Japanese GT Collecting
This model rewards both a James Bond film-car theme and a Japanese performance heritage collection, a rare piece that satisfies two distinct collecting angles at once.
