Twiggy

The first time the iconic Toyota 2000GT was shown as a final production model in Japan was at the 14th Tokyo Motor Show in 1967. As if seeing a brand new example of Japan’s first supercar wasn’t enough of an event in itself, Toyota gave the 1967 show car (frame #10130, engine #10181) a visual boost by painting it gold.  British supermodel Twiggy was recruited to stand on the Tokyo show stage alongside the gold 2000GT. After the show, Toyota generously gave the car to Twiggy as an expression of its gratitude for her assistance.
