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 variant Toyota specially built for the 1967 James Bond film You Only Live Twice, after the closed coupe proved too low for Sean Connery. It is a genuinely unique piece of film history built from Toyota's flagship 1960s sports car.

Only a handful of open-top 2000GTs were ever built, all for the film, making this one of the more unusual crossovers between motoring and cinema history rather than a simple production variant of an existing model.

AUTOart's Detail Level on a Film-Specific Variant

Because the open-top 2000GT never existed as a regular production model, getting the conversion details right, the cut line where the roof was removed, the folded soft top's stowage, matters more here than on almost any standard-production casting, since there is no everyday version to fall back on for reference. AUTOart is known for chasing exactly this kind of accuracy at 1:18, and the White finish matches the film car's on-screen colour, letting the 2000GT's long, low bonnet and pop-up headlamp treatment read clearly against the open cockpit. Interior detail, wood-trimmed dashboard and slim bucket seats, carries the era's Japanese take on European GT car design.

The 2000GT's Role in Establishing Japanese Sports Car Credibility

Toyota built the 2000GT to prove Japanese manufacturers could produce a genuine world-class sports car, not just reliable economy vehicles, and its appearance in a major Bond film gave that ambition a level of international visibility no advertising campaign could match. Production numbers stayed extremely low throughout the model's short run, and the film-specific open-top versions are rarer still among survivors. For a collection built around cinema-linked cars, the 2000GT Cabriolet occupies a genuinely singular position.
