Toyota Classic


The Toyota Classic is a limited-production model produced by Toyota in 1996, which resembled the Toyota AA. It used a fifth generation Hilux, type GA-YN86 rear-wheel-drive frame, with a two-litre 3Y-E engine producing and. Its interior was taken from a contemporary Toyota, but made more consistent with the car's exterior by the addition of wood to the dashboard and leather to the seats. Toyota sold 100 of the cars and charged roughly US$75,000 for each of them.
The Classic arose as part of the boom in "retro-styled" cars, and also perhaps as a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the AA. The Origin of 2000 was a similar model resembling the first Crown.
