Newly forged parts for its only ‘Bond’ car are to go on sale

Some replacement parts of the swoopy Toyota 2000 GT from the ’60s will be recreated for owners to continue enjoying the ownership experience. Picture: SUPPLIED

This is a Gazoo Racing initiative that’s part of the GR Heritage Parts Project which aims to keep the old cars going well into the future. The firm says it will sell these replacement parts, also said to be limited to those crucial in the upkeep of these classics, in domestic and overseas markets. A convertible version of the sultry-looking GT made its silver screen debut in the 1967 James Bond moviestarring Sean Connery as the fictitious MI6 agent, though the car was mostly driven by “Bond Girl” Akiko Wakabayashi.

The reproduced parts may be bought from Toyota dealers in the same way as normal parts. However, due to the uniqueness of the Toyota 2000 GT, sales will be restricted to owners to prevent reselling, and the number of parts sold will be limited per car.
