A superb example of the imposing and eminently luxurious Japanese limousine, with very low mileage from new. Under the bonnet is the silken 5.0-litre ‘1GZ-FNE’ V12, producing around 276bhp and coupled to a six-speed automatic transmission. The odometer displays just 33,614km, which is supported by the car’s maintenance history and an accompanying certificate of verification. Before being imported into Australia, this Century is believed to have been serviced annually by staff at a Japanese Toyota service centre. This second-generation ‘G50’ Century features Kamui Eternal Black paintwork over a grey wool-trimmed interior with elegant white seat covers and cherry wood trim pieces. It rides on the correct set of 16-inch, multi-spoke alloy wheels, complete with the Century’s ‘Golden Phoenix’ emblems on their centre caps. Factory-fitted equipment includes air suspension with the lift kit, soft-closing rear doors, power curtains, electric mirrors, dual-zone climate control, heated and cooled electrically adjustable seats, a rear leg rest and a separate rear entertainment system. Its original owner’s manuals, service book and toolkit will be included, along with a raft of import documents and a JEVIC odometer certificate of verification. There has been no known bodywork damage. The Kamui Eternal Black paintwork is believed to be entirely original and remains in excellent overall condition, with only a few very minor scuffs and stone chips across the front bumper and bonnet. Inside, the grey wool upholstery and the white seat covers are in superb order, while the wooden inlays also appear to be free of any major wear. All of the switchgear controls work as they should and there are no known mechanical faults. This Century’s most recent service was carried out in December 2021 at 33,610 km, when technicians at ABC Tyrepower and Mechanical replaced the engine oil, before performing a thorough check-over and issuing a roadworthiness certificate. The car has previously been serviced by Toyota in Japan. This second-generation Toyota Century is a wonderful example of the elegant and well-equipped luxury saloon, which has the distinction of being the marque’s first and only V12-powered production car. Generously equipped with a raft of comfort features and driver aids, this low-mileage Century would make a refined and supremely comfortable daily driver, or a handsome addition to any collection of Toyota’s landmark vehicles.
